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

Alterworlds, a captivating low-poly puzzle game, has just released a 3-minute gameplay demo showcasing its unique mechanics. The game follows a galactic quest to reunite with a lost loved one, involving planetary hopping, obstacle blasting, and artifact manipulation.

This weekend, let's delve into Alterworlds, an upcoming indie puzzler with a distinctive retro-futuristic aesthetic. The low-poly, cel-shaded visuals, reminiscent of Moebius's art, create a visually appealing and refreshing experience.

While the narrative might seem familiar, the gameplay sets Alterworlds apart. From a top-down perspective, players navigate diverse planetary landscapes, from barren moons to vibrant dinosaur-inhabited worlds, utilizing jumping, shooting, and object manipulation to solve puzzles.

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