If that were the case, the game would be stressful, but as is it’s really not. This adds a certain bit of adrenalin to the game, but it’s nice that you’re not being chased the entire time. This guy will chase you as to go along (see image 6), and if you’re too slow, he’ll knock you down and you’ll wipe out. After snowboarding a certain distance, you’ll wake up a sleeping Elder. The last obstacle in your way are the Elders. After doing lots of tricks, you’ll charge the wingsuit, which allows you to fly over obstacles and do loop-de-loops. The other thing you can purchase is a wingsuit (see image 5). These coins can then be used to purchase upgrades to make the power ups last longer. There are two power ups: the hover feather (lets you float over rocks and recover from failed backflips), and the coin magnet (picks up coins as you get near them). Alto’s Adventure is an infinite runner, meaning the level is randomly generated as you go along, and the goal is to simply go as far as possible before wiping out.Īlto’s Adventure is a ton of fun right off the bat, but there are other things that make it more interesting and complicated. As you go along, you’ll encounter various obstacles, from rocks to large chasms you have to jump over.

For some reason, backflipping is particularly gratifying. The controls couldn’t be simpler: tap once to jump, tap and hold to rotate backwards. Slide down the mountain, catching llamas, grinding on wires, and doing backflips. Alto’s llamas are escaping, and the best way to catch them is (obviously) by snowboard. Alto’s Adventure is a really simple game.
