As we head into the weekend, it's time to dive into some of the intriguing projects we've been keeping an eye on. Today, I'm excited to share insights on Alterworlds, an upcoming low-poly indie puzzler that promises a captivating journey across the galaxy in search of lost love.
While the plot might sound familiar, it's the unique gameplay and aesthetic that sets Alterworlds apart. The game boasts a visually appealing low-poly, cel-shaded style, drawing inspiration from legendary artists like Moebius. This approach delivers a refreshingly retro yet pleasing visual palette that's sure to catch the eye.
From a gameplay perspective, Alterworlds may seem like a typical top-down puzzler at first glance, but it's packed with engaging mechanics. Players will leap from planet to planet, each with its own distinct environment, from rocky moons to dinosaur-filled paradises. The game allows you to jump, shoot, and drag objects, creating a dynamic puzzle-solving experience.
My only critique might be the slightly clunky narration during the tutorial, but overall, Alterworlds stands out as a promising puzzle game. I'm eager to see how Idealplay develops it further, especially how it will perform on mobile devices.
You might wonder if it's too early to get excited about Alterworlds, given that we've only seen a 3-minute demo.
