I get the feeling more characters and other insights into the setting will be added the further you snowboard down the slopes.Īnyway, there's more. In fact, given that we're in snowy mountains and there are llamas there, this could be the Himalayas. It tells you that this snowboarder is part of a community, perhaps a tribe. If they hit you, the words 'Respect your elders' come up, and you have to restart. The longer you can survive without a hitting a rock or falling into a chasm, the more a story seems to emerge in the environment.įor example, when you reach a certain distance, you wake up an elder next to a campfire, who then chases you with a stick while riding a llama. It's easy enough, and feels very smooth while playing, but you do need to keep your eyes open for hazards.īut don't get it wrong, as while you can try to beat your high score and furthest distance reached, this probably won't be what compels you to keep playing Alto's Adventure. You can add grinds and chasm jumps to this, adding more tricks up to get a bigger score so long as you land it. You'll need to make sure they land on their feet. You tap to jump, but if you hold your finger on the screen the snowboarder will steadily do a back flip.

You can also boost your score by performing tricks. It gets longer the more points you collect, billowing behind you as a colourful, wavy line.

Each llama you drift past gets you points, so do the shiny gold coins you collect.Ī nice touch is the scarf the snowboarder wears. You play a young snowboarder who sets down the snowy slopes to retrieve their runaway llamas. Having now had some hands-on time with a beta version of the game I can tell you a lot more.

What we did know is that it's an endless snowboarding game, and that it looks beautiful. Snowman has been quite secretive about Alto's Adventure.
