Alto's Adventure

I played this before playing the sequel alto's odyssey, and while I prefer the second game, this one still holds up! my only complaints are that the llama mechanic feels sort of pointless outside of missions (scores alone have never been a motivator for me), and there's a particular chasm (two small gaps in quick succession) that's nearly impossible to clear if you're going too fast. worth a try if you loved the sequel, but want something a little different!

The game itself is awesome. It's challenging and has characters that can be unlocked by playing. Each character is unique and plays differently from the rest. The main problem I have is the ads. They don't show up often, but each one feels very predatory. They drag on, and often goad you into interacting with them afterwards. The close button slowly fades in as to not attract your attention. On top of that, tapping anywhere but that tiny X sends you to the product page. It just feels so sleezy.

11/10. Beautiful and simple graphics, easy-to-learn but hard-to-master gameplay, and amazing music to top it all off. There are multiple different players to unlock that change the game a little in their own way, and the Wingsuit adds a whole new, fun element once you've gotten used to everything else. Overall summary? A simulation of running away from old people with your feet tied to a slab of wood, racing llamas, jumping over chasms upside down, and de-shingling innocent townspeoples' homes.

Everything In this game is nice from the graphics to the user friendly controls to the music. The only thing I myself don't like is the rock jumping to avoid them. But having that part of the challenge is ok. Even the "Zen Mode" has that rock jumping which kinda defeats the purpose of a relaxing game experience. It can kind of get stressful and angry when you can't or avoid the rocks and crash and fall down each time. But other than that I thoroughly enjoyed how this wonderful game was

Let me start off by saying: This game is (very seriously) one of the best I've played, in terms of graphics. It's not the most realistic out there, sure, but the quality of the characters and backgrounds are unrivaled. Controls are simple and fun, but lacking in "control" - you can jump and backflip, but that's about it. A frontflip button would be nice, possibly added on the right half of the screen while the backflip the left. Overall, though, great game! The gameplay itself is fun and sometimes challenging, while Zen Mode keeps the balance between hard and easy, as well as the fact that it's so darn satisfying when you land a chain of tricks. Noodlecake, you have outdone yourself!

The game is excellent, but... The feather is kind of a pain since if it drops you right before a rock you won't have time to jump, which is an Insta-kill. My big problem though is I bought the ad-free version since I like the game, but it in the shop it still shows available to buy. When I try to buy it, I get an error saying I already own it, and I still get pop-up ads....

I actually like this game a lot more than my review might imply. It has relaxing, charming graphics and music and intuitive, engaging gameplay. But items have gotten really buggy. I'll glide right by them and they don't even get picked up, or the game doesn't register it. The hover feather in particular seems to work about 20% of the time, maybe less. I had to pick up at least FIVE just to complete the mission to collect ONE! :(

Really just an amazing game all around. the art and backgrounds are simple and well made. Your movement through the snow banks is incredibly smooth, and as long as you're paying attention, nothing really feels unfair with one exception. When the screen switches to night mode, it starts to become difficult to see your player character. Another issue is that I can't use my wing suit. I unlocked it several weeks ago, but after I closed the app and reopened it, the icon disappeared.

Beautiful game! Played it for years. Only suggestions I would make if possible would be to have a way to save your progress (some account or something) and for the music not to restart every time you mess up. After completing the entire game I accidentally uninstalled the app and lost everything. And it would be nice if the music would just pick up where it left off when you fell after starting again. If these things are addressed I will definitely give 5 stars. Thanks for your hard work!

I love both this game as well as Alto's Odyssey. The entire feel of these games are very relaxing and the simplicity of the gameplay plays very well the soothing music, not to mention the minimalist but beautiful graphics. My only complaint about this game would be the ads, they really remove you from the experience. I know you can pay to get rid of them but I'm super cheap so I guess that's partly my fault.

Love it. From graphics to game concept. Addicting and worth my time. Challenging, but enjoyable. Edit: I remember back in High School when I used to be overly obsessed with this game and the great challenges it brought. What I love most was the ability to unlocking characters based on your level, but now it's pay-to-unlock and that was just a downer to see. Shame when games go big they try their best to make revenue out of it.

I actually really love this game! The graphics are cute, peaceful, and very much well done. It's relaxing and fun with a mode where you don't even have to collect points and it's strictly for just cruising the mountains which I find very helpful to just have fun. Only thing I wish was different is in this "zen mode" that it has is that you don't crash when hitting rocks or bad flips. If you would just bounce back in zen mode rather than stopping it would be more zen. Otherwise love this👍

The best "dashing" game out there. The atmosphere, music, sound design, and gameplay all culminate into a calming yet engaging experience that's perfect for a quick distraction, and a mobile game in general. The stuff shown here makes me wish a full-on game was made in this vein. The quest system is clearly only there to keep the game's shelf-life up, but you could enjoy the game well while ignoring any kind of "progression". The only reason I wouldn't get this is because a second one exists.

Edit:2/3/2020 Game crashes when logged into google play. Had to uninstall as it nolonger works. The simplistic background, changing elements and music and natural sounds are all just breathtaking. Controls are easy and fluid. Love the fact you can challenge yourself or just chill to all of the games beauty in zen mode. Easy enough for any one to play. Fantastic stress relief and game period.

I LOVE this game! The gameplay is addicting, the music and sound effects are on point, and nothing feels unfair. HOWEVER, I only gave this game a 4/5 because of one major issue I have: how come you can't listen to your own audio, (like say podcasts or music or whatever) and play your game on the same device? I USED to be able to do it but after what might've been the last update I can't. Please consider fixing this as I love your game and I and probably many others (maybe) would like this feature to come back.

THIS GAME♥️♥️♥️The music is amazing, the graphics, art, and animation are awesome, and the overall game is addicting. It's relaxing without being boring. Plus, zen mode (by swiping right on the home screen) let's you just play the game without score, distractions, or game overs, which allows you to just enjoy the gameplay, music, art, or all three.

I want to start this off by saying that alto is a very fun game overall!!!! I love the gameplay, minimal ads, lovely art style and game mechanics. Oh, and buying the ad-free experience is totally worth it! There is one bug that I would like to point out, however Whenever you jump over a big chasm and you don't land a grind on the flags, if you revive your character the camera won't follow them. This makes it stay on the image of the chasm making the player unable to see where they are
