Alterworlds: A Low-Poly Galactic Journey to Find 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 a lost loved one. The gameplay, revealed in the demo, features a blend of mechanics including planetary hopping, obstacle blasting, and object manipulation.

This indie puzzler distinguishes itself not through its narrative, which may seem familiar, but through its unique visual style and engaging gameplay. The low-poly, cel-shaded aesthetic draws inspiration from iconic artists like Moebius, resulting in a retro yet visually stunning experience.

The top-down perspective cleverly masks the depth of the puzzle mechanics. Players will jump, shoot, and drag objects across diverse planetary landscapes, from barren moons to vibrant, dinosaur-inhabited worlds.

While the tutorial narration might feel slightly awkward, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise impressive puzzle game. Alterworlds stands out from the crowd, leaving me eager to see Idealplay's final product, particularly its mobile adaptation.
