Alterworlds is a low-poly puzzler taking you on a journey across the galaxy

Alterworlds: A Low-Poly Galactic Journey in Search of Lost Love

A captivating new 3-minute demo showcases Alterworlds, an upcoming low-poly puzzle game. This interstellar adventure tasks players with a galaxy-spanning search for their lost loved one. The demo highlights core mechanics, including interplanetary leaps, obstacle blasting, and artifact manipulation.

This indie puzzler, developed by Idealplay, stands out not for its narrative (which, admittedly, feels familiar), but for its distinctive visual style and engaging gameplay. The low-poly, cel-shaded aesthetic, inspired by artists like Moebius, creates a retro yet appealing visual experience.

The top-down perspective belies the game's depth. Players navigate diverse planetary landscapes – from barren moons to lush, dinosaur-inhabited worlds – utilizing jumping, shooting, and object interaction mechanics to solve puzzles.

While the tutorial's narration could use some refinement, Alterworlds presents a refreshing take on the puzzle genre. Its unique visual style and engaging gameplay mechanics make it a promising title. The game's mobile potential is particularly intriguing.

This early look, despite its brevity, highlights Alterworlds' potential.
