Alterworlds is a low-poly puzzle game that takes you on a journey across the galaxy.

• Alterworlds, the upcoming low-poly puzzle game, has unveiled a new 3-minute demo
• It showcases a number of the mechanics of this story about searching for lost love across the galaxy.
• Jump from planet to planet, destroy obstacles and drag artifacts – this is just the beginning.

With the weekend approaching, it’s time to take stock of what’s been on our back burner. And today’s topic is one that I’m glad I left for people to see over the weekend. Alterworld is a new low-poly indie puzzle game that takes you into space in search of your lost love.

Sounds a little familiar, right? Well, what sets Alterworlds apart for me is not the story, but the gameplay and aesthetics. Featuring the aforementioned low-poly, cel-shaded aesthetic, you can see how they took inspiration from artists like Moebius to create a refreshingly retro yet pleasing visual palette.

In terms of gameplay, the top-down view disguises the fact that this is a puzzle game with plenty to do. It lets you jump, shoot and drag objects as you make your way across each unique planet, from rocky moons to a dinosaur-filled paradise.

I think the only complaint I might have about Alterworlds is the somewhat clunky storytelling in the manual, but otherwise it’s a puzzle game that stands out quite well in my opinion. I’m definitely interested to see what Idealplay does with it, and especially how it will perform when it hits mobile devices.

But you might ask, are we being too premature in all this? After all, it’s just a 3-minute demon. Well, yes, but if you haven’t noticed, we like to stay on top of what’s new.
