Get Alto’s Adventure on iTunes More From Kotaku Australia If I close my eyes its as if years of horrible movie tie-in runner games never happened. Watch me play.Īlto’s Adventure is the endless runner matured, ripping away the trappings of mobile’s youthful obsession to rediscover the elegance and simplicity that made everyone want to copy genre progenitor Canabalt in the first place. It’s the difference between eating a Hot Pocket in your sweatpants to dining at an elegant Italian restaurant with one of your favourite adult people. If Alto’s Adventure sounds familiar, it’s because the core gameplay is akin to the popular mobile game Ski Safari.īut where Ski Safari has bouncy music, colourful characters and the ability to purchase gold to unlock even more, Alto’s has a man, a mountain, some beautiful music and the endless cycles of time and weather. Ride poorly and… well it really doesn’t matter once you start riding it’s quite hard to stop. Ride well and you’ll complete goals, advancing in level and unlocking new characters. There are rails to grind, chasms to leap, angry elders to escape and coins to collect. There is but a single control - tap the screen to jump, tap and hold to flip. There is no licensed character - just a snowboarder and his friends atop a mountain, attempting to recover his spooked llamas. There is no monetization and no microtransactions. They have become the go-to genre for quick-and-dirty movie tie-in games.Īlto’s Adventure from developer Snowman is not a free-to-play game - it costs $US1.99. The average endless runner today is a free-to-play game with options to buy cosmetic items, new characters, power-ups or continues. It’s just that the simple gameplay concept - run, dodge, repeat - has been buried under colourful characters, creative monetization practices and free-to-play nonsense. The average endless runner can be a great deal of fun, don’t get me wrong.
