What Alto's Odyssey is and who it suits

Alto's Odyssey is a sandboarding game set in an open desert. You ride Alto and his friends across dunes, canyons and temples, and the developer describes it as a standalone game, so you do not need to have played the earlier Alto's Adventure first.

It suits players who like short, skill-based runs with simple controls and a long list of goals to work through. The developer also lists a relaxed mode and a photo mode for players who want less pressure.

Tricks, combos and the 180 goals

Every trick is tied to a single touch, and the developer says you chain these tricks together to build combos. Combos are how you score and progress through the game's objectives.

The game lists 180 goals to complete. The developer describes the controls as intuitive, and the trick system is the main thing you practise as you work through them.

Exploring the desert biomes and terrain

The desert is split into biomes: dunes, canyons and temples. The developer says each one has its own visuals and gameplay, so a run through the canyons plays differently from one across open sand.

Along the way the listing mentions grinding across vines, bouncing off hot-air balloons, riding grind rails and running up rock walls, with lemurs as a hazard to escape. Sandstorms, shooting stars, swirling wind vortexes and rushing water are also described as part of the world, with dynamic lighting throughout.

Zen Mode and Photo Mode

Zen Mode is a separate mode with its own soundtrack. The developer says it removes scores, coins and power-ups, leaving only the sandboarding and the open desert.

Photo Mode is opened from the pause screen. You pinch, swipe, pan and zoom to frame a shot of your run, and the developer says you can share the photos with friends and family.

Characters and sound

Six characters can be unlocked, and the developer says each has its own attributes and abilities. The listing does not go into detail on how each one differs in play.

The soundtrack is described as original music with handcrafted audio, and the developer recommends headphones.
