Leave a Review Alto's Odyssey
I absolutely love this game
HOWEVER; the previous game was perfect. I rewarded you for being skilled enough to combo tricks and flips together. This game seemingly punishes me over and over for being creative with my combos. I will land a huge combo and my scarf will be so long the it’s off the screen, and I will fall into a hole without any chance of saving myself. Literally I will approach a death hole and a balloon is supposed to rise up to bounce me over but it’s like 2 seconds. It’s just super upsetting and discouraging to die to a game mechanic that you can’t do anything about until later in the game. The balloons and tornados are super inconsistent. The lemurs are ridiculously unrealistic (somehow they run 40+ mph). I actually lose a lot of speed if I don’t flip while going DOWN a mountain. Most of all the power ups scattered around are impossible to pickup. Overall my biggest complaint is that there should be a game mechanic that boosts you over the death holes.Show lessBlastedon
Still the most Beautiful game on iPhone
I can’t begin to say how much I enjoy this game. I still have the first one on my phone. This second rendition is just as beautiful and runs just as well. I can’t wait for more to come. Adding slightly different areas was great. Do wish there was a little more. Cause I’m the beginning there was a strive to see just what you might discover next unfortunately I think I have discovered everything now. Though I can understand somewhat the limits. This isn’t Minecraft with biomes that mix oddly together.l, but I’m sure they will find some way of making it work. Wish there was more beautiful looking games like this. A simple, but impactful design. Don’t need all those crappy HD 3D graphics we normally see every where. This games just parr’s so Nicely with the iPhone.Show lessSmartiebros
Buggy
I played a lot of Alto’s odyssey on my iPhone today. Twice it closed on me and once it got stuck in an endless loop switching between two messages after I crashed into a chasm wall. This is a lot more buggy than alto’s adventure but maybe I started playing that game after it had time to be debugged.
I don’t know if the directions are exactly correct for the rock grinding because I touch the base of the rock and my character doesn’t move upward in the rock. I think the new feature is interesting but has a higher learning curve. I actually replayed the tutorial again and I’m playing the zen mode to get more practice. It’s actually kind of frustrating but I guess I’ll figure it out eventually. Took me forever to figure out the wingsuit.
I like the compass idea so you can go to whatever biome you want (there’s only 3) but I didn’t know it would cost 1000 to use each time so I felt like that was misleading. I would have save my coins for the wingsuit if I had known.
I also kind of wish that whatever level you’re at in alto’s adventure would transfer over but I guess it’s okay. It’s kinda annoying to have to work again for the same characters so I’m hoping they’re different.
And where are the llamas or at least camels? There are birds of paradise...but they stress me out flying so close, I feel like they’re going to start pecking out my character’s eyes!Show lessAnne J 2
Played the older game, love the new.
I loved this game when I played the Original Altos Adventure years ago. I decided that I should treat myself and buy the new one which I had just seen. You will not be disappointed if you buy this game. Although some rocks are hard to see at night, the music, visuals, and the gameplay make up for all the little mistakes you may find. This game is worth playing for hours on end and I suggest getting it. Zen mode is one of my favorite things to do when I want to play without worrying about my score, and I just want to play and listen. This game is worth the money and if you hate it, you can leave a bad review. It will get lost in the good reviews. I love this app with all my heart and only good things come to mind whoever I think about it. Definitely worth it.Show lessEdredwolf123
Alto is back!
*UPDATE* To the developers, during gameplay when my scarf is at max length and the option to fly is available - the game automatically selects the flying option mid-backflip. This has caused me to die. Not only that but it’s annoying af. I looked in the options but it doesn’t look like anything I’ve selected. It only happens when the level of flight is full and I’m attempting a backflip. Fix this crap!!
As a YUGE fan of the original Alto game, I was ecstatic to see a sequel. If you can’t tell from the overwhelming amount of positive reviews that this game is a winner, then what I’m going to say isn’t going to make any difference to you. This game is beautiful, exciting and challenging. It’s fun and most of all it’s full of fricken backflips! Who doesn’t love doing backflips?
Get it.Show lessmyunluckystars
Great game, a little room for improvement
Kudos for capturing the breathtaking excitement of snow/sand-boarding. Gorgeous visuals, addictive non repetitive gameplay. After two-ish months of dedicated (obsessive) playing, I finally finished. Top combo: 109,480 (multiplier 34). Some of the challenges are extremely frustrating, borderline sadistic. And for what? A mere congratulations. I still like to play this game, but there are no more challenges — why not build in a prize for finishing: the ability to script one’s own challenges. Like, one could set the app to keep track of the distance that you “hovercraft” in the wingsuit or count rock bounces, or bounces in a row, whatever. Finally, a few times I’ve crashed through the ground. Most of the time this happens while wingsuiting and leads to a crash (both literally and figuratively), but once I crashed through the ground and kept wingsuiting, i.e., the ground was moving above me. I wish I had explored this mystery underground more, but I ended up heading back up to the surface. Fun game.Show lessbrettimus
Good but some issues
A decent game that’s good for passing the time, however I’ve lately had issues with a few things. For one if there’s a certain challenge that needs to be completed then you better hope the ability to do it shows up early or you’re in the right biome otherwise you have to wait a while to get there, also the wingsuit “box” you tap to activate it is way to big. I shouldn’t have to try and find a spot that won’t activate it on the right. I’ll be in the middle of a flip and it’ll just switch to it even though I did t ask for it. It should stay where it shows up and no where else. I can’t get pass a level because of this which brings me back to my first point. I’ve hit five wall rides in one combo and it still doesn’t update it. Hope the developers sees this and makes a patchShow lessNCCountryborn&raised
Perfect Sequel
I had no idea this game came out until I was looking for a game that was similar to the original. Altos Adventure was one of the most beautiful and serene games that I’ve ever played and after beating that one, I was looking for something similar and luckily for me, Altos Odyssey came out. Odyssey is good because it drops certain parts of the last game that it could do without (namely the llamas), and builds upon the best parts of the game (power ups, wingsuit, biomes, etc). As the description suggests, the game is extremely easy to play, but difficult to master, as in the higher levels you almost need to assume what is ahead of you to complete certain challenges. You pay one price and its yours for life, which I would gladly pay again without hesitation. The only improvement in the game would be the new “Mysterious Radio” power-up. Every time I get the radio, my character is moving too fast for me to pick them up, and by the time they get on my screen, I’ve already passed them. Maybe tweaking the drop speed to character speed would remedy this issue. Otherwise the game is literally perfect, mechanically and visually.Show lessJStrez
Not For the Hearing Impired
Update: Upgraded to 2 stars. After some troubleshooting I figured out the game will freeze if Bluetooth is enabled. I suffer from hearing loss in one ear and wear a hearing aid that link to my phone. The oversight of the game working with Bluetooth is pretty disappointing considering you also can’t use Bluetooth headphones. Definitely not happy I paid $7 for the game for this to be an issue. Free games figured it out, and the previous Alto game works fine with Bluetooth. Hopefully this gets fixed. That said, the game once it works is beautiful. It is harder to backflip. The rotation seems slower than the previous game and pulling off a double is near impossible at times. Hopefully the next update sixes these issues. Would definitely give it more stars if these issues are addressed.
The game is completely unplayable. I’m lucky to get to the coins in the tutorial (roughly 6 seconds in). I’ve reset my phone, reinstalled and no luck. Disappointing and aggravating considering I paid for the game and it doesn’t work.Show lessCoasteiry
Great but...
Generally it’s a great game. Plays smoothly, controls work nicely and whatnot scenery is great. It would be nice if I could select if I want time to change. Sometimes I just want to play in day time. I’ve been playing off and on for a few weeks and I’ve got a few gripes. First and most annoying is the lemur. It’s seems that unless I’m doing a crazy amount of stunts he attacks. I’ve even been attacked in a backflip. I also purchased the full signal thingy. The barrels almost always drop at a time where they get missed. They literally always land behind the character. Then my only other grip is with how the challenges work. I think it would be nicer if you got new challenges as you completed each and not have to complete the triad before progress. I’ve been stuck on the darn double backflip bird of paradise for a week now. I’ve never gotten two birds together so I’m baffled as to how to complete that quest.Show lessRMDC82
