However, Snowman made sure to put enough care to each of Alto’s in-game objects, not only making sure that each of them looks nice, but also contributes to the whole running experience. Set in a snowy mountain range over the narrative of a llama farmer chasing his runaway pack by snowboarding, there’s actually less to see if you compare Alto to other titles such as Minion Rush or Subway Surfer. To begin with, let’s finally address the how stunningly beautiful Alto looks. Alto’s adventure manages to avoid this pitfall and focuses on the running experience instead. These purchases typically increase your survivability, allowing you to gather more coins and gain higher scores.Ī lot of runners focuses on the run-upgrade-run cycle a bit too much, making it more appropriate to call them endless purchaser/upgrader instead of endless runner-but that kind of concept is already taken. You will also usually find a set of upgrades you can purchase either with the in-game currency you collect during your runs or with actual cash. With the gameplay as simple as it is, endless runners are often packed with a lot of cosmetic variety, for your character and/or the environment he/she runs in. The controls are usually pretty simple, you tap to jump and swipe to slide, or something in that nature. Endless runner is a casual breed of game where you control a character that automatically moves through the stage-not necessarily by running skateboarding, jetpacking, you name it- to keep him/her from crashing/falling. Let’s put the obvious visual greatness of the game aside and talk about endless runner first. It took me exactly one run to fall in love with Alto it’ll took you exactly one review to try it.

Just a few weeks ago, developer/publisher Noodlecake Studio brought the critically acclaimed mobile game to Android and Amazon Kindle. The amazing runner is developed by Snowman-who surprisingly doesn’t make a lot of games-and was originally published for iOS early 2014.

In the case of mobile endless runner video game genre, the work would be Alto’s Adventure. Sometimes all it takes to restore your faith in a certain genre is one exceptional work.
