Alto's Adventure 9+

Does not deserve the bad reviews.

I’ve seen a couple reviews about the wingsuit activating and deactivating randomly. Let’s clear that up. The wingsuit is toggled through 3D Touch, so when you press hard on the screen it toggles it. There’s also a setting under Settings to turn this behavior off. There will also be a button on the right side of the screen that also toggles it, so turning off the setting will not stop you from using the wingsuit. (The wingsuit is available after level 30, so if the setting isn’t there when you start, maybe it’ll appear once you unlock the wingsuit.) I wish Snowman would reply to the reviews to clear their name, but it doesn’t look like that will happen.

That being said, of course I think Alto’s Adventure is a beautiful game. I’m not usually very fond of arcade-like games, but this one has stuck with me for a long time. You’ve probably already heard of the graphics/artwork. It’s also a well-polished game and feels good to play, especially with friends. Look out for new games by Snowman because the previews on their website look good. Development for those games was probably funded by this game’s sales.

INCREDIBLE GAME!!!

Probably the best iPhone game ever. Sure it costs 4.99 but there are no IAP or ads. Relaxing game with intuitive interface, easy controls, beautiful soundtrack, and beautiful graphics. Only a couple suggestions: 1. Either make items in the Workshop cheaper or add a “coin multiplier” item. This would be a gold star which would spawn like magnets or feathers, and maybe could multiply your coins for a duration. The duration could be upgraded in the shop. These would make the process of getting items cheaper, as it can be kind of annoying to grind for 20 minutes for a helmet that you would waste within the next 5 minutes. 2. Give Izel more special items than just a rocket snowboard. The character says she has a “few special prototypes” but in-game there is only one unique item. 3. Fix some visual bugs. Sometimes, when crashing at high speeds, the character seems to freeze and hover a couple feet above the ground, which looks really weird. Other than these suggestions I think you have created a truly beautiful game. Keep up the good work Snowman!

Couple of bugs to fix

When under high speed (especially after landing bonuses), the character wouldn't pick up any items including coins and abilities. (bug)
Weird boulder spawn during a grind. Is capable of knock off players while they are on grind. This shall be change to a boulder bounce instead of killing the player. (Bug)
Death on ramps sometimes fails to render the character. What i mean is that death on the edge of ramp might lead to resuscitation of the character with a snowboard, tripped again, resuscitate with board, tripped again… a fews time before actual death. Not really something that affects gameplay but fun to watch (Bug)
The landscape generator could sometimes generates chasms during a long fall. Usually, the zooming of the camera during a chasm encounter would alarm players, but this along won’t save them from game over unless they have wing-suit. (Improvement)
The angle of attack at which we bounce from a boulders determines our speed at which we could sometimes come to complete stop leading to immediate death by elder chase. (Improvement)
Wing-suit charge on paz shall be more generous, as i can easily activate it with other characters, but not paz. Can balance a bit more. (Improvement)
