Galaxy-Hopping Puzzler Unveiled: Alterworlds Transports You to the Stars

Alterworlds, a captivating low-poly puzzle game, recently showcased a three-minute gameplay demo. This sneak peek highlights the core mechanics of a galactic quest to reunite with a lost loved one. The journey involves interplanetary leaps, obstacle blasting, and manipulating artifacts—a thrilling start to a seemingly complex adventure.

This weekend, let's delve into Alterworlds, a charming indie puzzler that transports players across space on a heartfelt mission. While the narrative might echo familiar themes, the gameplay and visual style truly set it apart.

The game's low-poly, cel-shaded aesthetic, reminiscent of Moebius's work, creates a retro yet visually appealing world. The top-down perspective cleverly masks the depth of the puzzle elements. Players will jump, shoot, and manipulate objects across diverse planetary landscapes, from barren moons to vibrant dinosaur-inhabited worlds.

My only minor critique is the slightly awkward tutorial narration. However, this is a standout puzzle game, and I'm eager to see Idealplay's final product, particularly its mobile adaptation.
