Our take on Alteric

The bounce point arrives when movement hazards and gravity become the main test: lava, saw blades, traps, falls, and dimension changes demand precise timing. Players looking for a forgiving platformer may stop at the first sequence where several systems must be handled together.

What is Alteric?

Alteric is a single-player 2D platformer in which a light-energy soul moves through an alien space between two worlds.

Progress involves crossing lava, avoiding traps and saw blades, climbing through catacombs, gliding, surviving falls, and changing dimensions at the right moment. Physics, gravity, and logic shape the challenges, while dangerous bosses provide larger encounters. The game uses bright, minimal graphics and an atmospheric soundtrack. It includes achievements, Steam trading cards and badges, Steam Cloud save support, and full support for Xbox 360 controllers. The structure centers on two connected worlds, with the player moving through obstacles and hazards while uncovering the setting's identity-focused premise.
