Simple-yet-clever design...but dang, ya gotta be good at platformers to actually play this one! I've completed the likes of Limbo, and couldn't even get to the tenth level of Alter World (of which there appear to be 50, judging by the Achievements). I mean: I could have made it at least ten levels, but only with a good deal more patience than I'm currently packing... The fact that I was trying to use keys and mouse probably compacted the problem - a controller is certainly advised - but I still couldn't get my head around the quick-switching-between-alternate-worlds mechanic that is key to the gameplay. My mind just doesn't function that way, unfortunately. It is well-done for what it is, so I'm happy to recommend it to those with a mind for such things. As far as I got, the "puzzles" weren't hard - I could see what I had to do - I just couldn't get my reflexes to flow as efficiently as they needed to. Perhaps you need to reach a certain level of "zen" to pull this one off, and sadly I'm not too good at that either. Just wasn't a game for me. Maybe it'll be a good one for you. (Oh, and those five hours I cranked up weren't me being that bad at the game: that was me "card-farming"! I gave up on the game proper within twenty minutes, once it was clear I'd be needing innumerable attempts to get past the earliest of stages. Maybe you Dark Souls-lovin' peeps will lap this one up, though...) Verdict: 7.5/10.

Alter World is a cheap game, with cool music and lovely graphics which contrasts with it's level of difficulty. I played in a lot of hard platform games and I was never so chilled out playing them like i was while playing Alter World.

Alter World is beautiful platformer with gorgeous artwork and an innovative switching mechanic. There are great details and very intriguing designs in this little game. It certainly isn't for beginners of the genre though - the puzzles are challenging and sometimes on the brink to pure frustration because you will have to time your jumps very precicely. Therefore I didn't like the fact that I couldn't customize the controls. Another disappointment was the ending of the game. I just expected more and in all honesty: Is there anyone who wouldn't try to save the dog?! Making the player go through the whole game again to get all the achievements is just rude. The funniest part of this game was having a friend watching and laughing about the inevitable fails. So I wouldn't really recommend playing it alone unless you like frustrating challenging gameplay & make sure to pick it up at a discount. 5/10

Alter World is a challenging and fun platforming game. The gimmick of the game is to alternate between worlds while navigating well crafted, precision platforming levels. The game itself can be challenging however due to it's forgiving nature, it doesn't feel like the game's overly difficult or frustrating. Gorgeous aesthetics and soundtrack give the game a relaxing tone, and help keep the game feel interesting, especially with new mechanics such as gravity introduced during the playthrough. Overall the game's challenging enough for more hardcore fans of platforming games however, forgiving and interesting to help beginners such as myself, to enjoy themselves.
