### 3/5 — Great game, progress didnt save after deletion

*2026-07-14, version 1.3.0*

its a great game, however i decided to upgrade my phone after completing the game and now all my progress is deleted for some reason (ingame). It says i have 19/26 achievements but opening the game prompts the tutorial

### 2/5 — ótimo jogo, mas experiência ruim

*2026-05-12*

Seria um ótimo jogo se não houvesse a extrema e ridícula dificuldade para completar as missões. Itens que aparecem o tempo todo antes de uma missão estar ativada, de repente desaparecem e são necessárias inúmeras partidas para achá-los e cumprir a missão. Torna a experiência um tanto entendiante e chata.

### 2/5 — A lovely game with poor weighting

*2026-02-08, version 1.3.0*

I played a lot of Alto’s Adventure when it first came out, advanced to the final levels, and loved it. I played this a bit as well when it was first released, but fell off. I grabbed the remastered version today on Arcade+ and realized it’s a much better difficulty weighting and biome spawning. It feels way easier to progress.

The developer did update the Arcade+ version with a remastered label so I’m guessing a lot of these fixes came since then. It’s a shame. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing this version, which is inferior. I just don’t like having endless subscriptions only use for one game that should be $5. I’d happily pay for the remaster. Once.

### 4/5 — oyun güncellenmiyor

*2026-01-27, version 1.3.0*

oyun tek kelime ile mükemmel mobil platform da en iyi indie oyun olabilir steam de bile satın aldım arada oynuyorum ama en son 2 yıl önce güncellenmiş oyunda garip garip glitch ler oluşuyor ekran gidiyor ses açma tuşuna basmınca fps droplanıyor

### 4/5 — The music

*2026-01-03, version 1.3.0*

This game is the most relaxing and addicting game I have played in a long time. I am disappointed that the music is not working it might be a bug in my phone but if it is a problem with the game, it would be much appreciated if that could be fixed.

### 2/5 — What happened to haptic feedback?

*2025-12-25, version 1.3.0*

One of the main reasons I bought this game in the first place was to experience amazing haptics which everyone talked about and turns out there’s 0 haptics. Why is that?

### 5/5 — 遊戲

*2025-11-29, version 1.3.0*

很好玩

### 3/5 — Lacks Zen. First one did it better

*2025-11-16, version 1.3.0*

I just think the game was tweaked too far from what made it really good. In the first game you could really flow and cruise down the slopes. In this one bad luck seems to happen a lot… jumping straight into canyons after a cliff, jumping up gaps is literally impossible with slower characters like Maya. There are multiple small examples like this that didn’t seem to happen in the first iteration. It’s just buggier than the first game overall. Not as cleanly made.

I originally thought this game would be like an actual adventure where you could visit different mountains around the world and there would be quests or challenges and stuff but… it seems more like a rehashed game 1 with a couple new environments thrown in that just have to roll though like a reused sidescroller map. Mechanics like wall grind are cool but… I do not feel zen playing this game. Not like I did for the first one.

### 3/5 — Almost Perfect

*2025-11-09, version 1.3.0*

I love this game and play it often, but hate that it’s always dark in the game. The only way to play it when it’s in its over used night time phase is by putting the brightness all the way up on device, and even then, it’s still too dark. It needs to be more even with the cycles.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2025-10-31, version 1.3.0*

Best mobile game ever😍😍

### 5/5 — Insane

*2025-10-28, version 1.3.0*

It is almost impossible to find games as pure and original in the world today, considering the ai slop games with ads every 30 seconds. This is actually a good new idea.

### 5/5 — Therapeutic!!!

*2025-10-11, version 1.3.0*

Never really wrote a review for a game. But, man. This one is special. Well done.

### 5/5 — Best game ever❤️

*2025-10-03, version 1.3.0*

Get it or don’t I do not care but its good it’s so relaxing I’ve had it for like 2 or 3 years now and ykw it’s kind of like mindful in a way like a peaceful and serene subway surfers and the zen mode one is actually the besttttt ughhhh u can just shut ur mind off and drift AND OMG the weather changes too it’s so cool there are different biomes I guess like Minecraft and the day just sets and rises and the colours are beautiful. I’d recommend this game!!!!!!

### 5/5 — GET THIS GAME NOW

*2025-10-02, version 1.3.0*

I don’t have ADHD or anything like it great to play if you do the scenery along the way is just 👌. finally i’m  relaxed

### 2/5 — Character

*2025-09-25, version 1.3.0*

Paz is literally the most boring one of all, no tricks, all he has is speed, I can nearly do challenges with him because he is just a poor character, literally makes me want to delete the game cause I know I can never beat this mission as this guy, everything else is good but Paz is so unplayable, and sooooo boring

### 5/5 — Great to relax

*2025-09-18, version 1.3.0*

If you have an anxiety, pick this game up. Play when you feel it creeping. Make sure the sound is on. It helps calm me down. Only thing I wish for is a larger pause button. Sometimes it takes me a few tries.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-09-13*

One of my favourite iOS games of all time, and a brilliant sequel to Alto’s Adventure.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — can’t advance

*2025-12-22, version 1.3.0*

Wall ride to backflip across a chasm doesn’t seem to exist. Been playing for days now and that combination doesn’t come up. The ability to wall ride and then backflip across a chasm. 
What wall next to a chasm?

### 1/5 — ゴミ

*2025-09-21*

難易度設定が正気とは思えない。ユーザーをゲームオーバーにするか否かを決定できるのはユーザー自身にするべき。クラッシュ時に任意の秒数戻る機能を追加するべき。夜と悪天候をオフにする機能も必要。

まあそれでも基本はゴミだが。

### 1/5 — Досадный момент

*2025-09-11, version 1.3.0*

Игра по своему наполнению, музыке и атмосфере отличная…но у нее есть баги, особенно с лемуром когда уже длинный забег на ровном месте ты просто проигрываешь и показывает итоговое расстояние - 0м (у меня есть запись с экрана и скрины), это повторилось на iPad Air 4 и на iPhone 16 PRO Max

### 1/5 — Levels

*2024-11-23, version 1.3.0*

There needs to be a function which lets you pass onto the next level when you are unable to pass the level you are currently on.

### 1/5 — Games should be beatable

*2024-07-25, version 1.3.0*

The requirements of this game are impossible to accomplish and rely heavily on chance. I stopped playing it and don’t even like it anymore.

### 1/5 — A great game filled with game-breaking bugs…

*2024-05-31, version 1.3.0*

Really enjoy the game, however, too many times the bugs ruined the game. Especially frustrating during completing the last challenges. For example, I got knocked down by a lemur while windsurfing OVER balloons during 2 day run with the Alto challenge when I was near 100%. Also, my character was falling under the ground a lot, of course, I was lending perfectly but the game decided to count it as a crush. Never had this problem with the Adventure. Please fix it. Thanks.

### 1/5 — no sound, please fix!

*2024-04-07, version 1.3.0*

after the update its totally on mute. ive tried it on multiple devices, restarting the app/device, even reinstalling, nothing helped

### 1/5 — V

*2024-01-09, version 1.3.0*

I spent 8$ for a alto's adventure texture pack

### 1/5 — Not supporting

*2023-12-31, version 1.3.0*

So sad this game is marketing for Adventure

### 1/5 — Stuck not able to jump chasm in intro mode

*2023-11-18, version 1.3.0*

Not being able to complete the intro mode is a horrible start. Uninstalled.

### 5/5 — Most relaxing game ever

*2026-08-03, version 1.3.0*

This game is really relaxing and just GOOD

### 5/5 — My favorite laid-back game!

*2026-07-11, version 1.3.0*

When my dad introduced Altos Adventure to me, I ended up really enjoying it. That was pretty long ago and I still have it on my phone. When I found Altos Odyssey, I was really excited and happy to play it. Safe to say, I am a long time fan of these games. The music is amazing and the background art is gorgeous. 5/5!!!

### 5/5 — Yes but

*2026-06-16, version 1.3.0*

When you switch to Altos adventure it looks like you still need to buy it to switch but I have it soooo…………?

### 5/5 — Exceptional 👍

*2026-06-12, version 1.3.0*

Awesome graphics and music, very calming… looks great! It’s awesome for when you’re going without WiFi.

The only thing I would consider changing is adding more structures and weather, which would make it more interesting than it already is.

### 5/5 — Do I really need to explain everything good about this?

*2026-05-22, version 1.3.0*

Perfect game. Spent four hours straight in plane playing, so much more good things too, see for yourself! Get right now!

### 5/5 — Make Sure You’re Not in Silent Mode

*2026-02-11, version 1.3.0*

The audio is an essential component for this gem of a game. However, if you have silent mode turned on (so your phone will only vibrate when notifications come through), the audio won’t work in this app. Your music, podcasts, and other game apps may work…but this one won’t. Turn off silent mode and enjoy the game

### 5/5 — Beautiful and relaxing graphics

*2026-02-06, version 1.3.0*

Finished all missions today. This is a very good game, very relaxing fraphics, and I would alternate play with my kids.

### 5/5 — моя любимая игра!!

*2025-12-31, version 1.3.0*

замечательная игра, помогает расслабиться и убить время, но я играю в нее на разных устройствах и периодами, поэтому иногда удаляю. Самый главный минус - несмотря на то, что я привязала game center и apple id у меня ни разу не сохранялся прогресс, и мне уже надоело проходить одно и то в начале без сэндборда и летающего костюма. Причем в настройках он видит мои achievements и как далеко я прошла. Разработчики, пожалуйста (!!!) исправьте🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Smoooth

*2025-12-21, version 1.3.0*

The game is excellent!

### 5/5 — iCloud + RPG

*2025-12-03, version 1.3.0*

This game has iCloud support. After I got this new phone, I didn’t want to play Alto’s Odyssey because of a game-breaking bug and due to being stuck on a level.
The bug has been squashed, and now I want to get to level 51!
I love rediscovering this RPG.
