    Ah ok. Thanks, guys, for explaining what I did when I'm too dense to realize it myself. ;)

    Edit: Hmm.... Any time I pressed the icon while on the ground, it would just immediately deactivate.
    I think we need a wing suit mini game where we can just practice with it whenever we feel like it. ;)

    no worries, glad to contribute in some help for this awesome game. It would be of course ideal to have the dev come here and say that the initial sales went good enough that they will add more things to the store for gold coins, but can we ever have it all? :D

    The closer you are to the ground as you descent with the wingsuit the faster you go and then can really pull up and soar into the air it's awesome. Also if you are wingsuiting close enough to the ground your combo score starts racking up points for proximity gliding!

    Ohhhh nice, good call - just mastered the proximity backflip so prox. gliding is next.

    I love working the loop-to-loop into my combo chain as well, really satisfying.

    Yea there are just so many details... looks like each elder you awaken is a different color as you progress in a run they get way faster and more agressive. Pulling off hair raising combos while they swipe away at you is super satisfying

    Hey guys!

    My name is Harry - I’m the artist and developer for Alto’s Adventure, built in collaboration with the guys at Snowman.

    I just wanted to drop in to say how incredibly touched and humbled I am to read the comments here. I’ve poured my absolute my heart and soul into this game over the last 2 years, so it means the world to know people are playing and enjoying it :)

    If you have *any* questions, concerns, issue or just general feedback, please feel free to ask and I’ll see what I can do :)

    Alternatively, you can get in touch with Ryan (the director) at [email protected] and we can start getting everything planned for our next / future updates.

    Just to quickly address one known issue:

    Disabling sounds (not music) from the in-game menu is causing a bunch of issues relating to trick scoring, goals unlocking and tutorial steps not completing. This is my bad, but I’ve already tracked down the cause and will be implementing a fix in the next update. In the meantime we recommend you play with the sounds on - they’re quite nice, so we hope you won’t mind too much :p

    All the best, and happy snowboarding!

    Harry
     
  7. Which one of you is the sadist who came up with "2 triple backflips in one run?" I'd like to come over and give him a piece of my mind. :p

    Nice to see passionate devoted developers ! This game is an absolute gem!

    About the triple backflip mission - use Maya, keep doing small combos to get up speed, then when you hit a good hill unleash the triple! You can do it!

    What is Paz's special ability? I don't understand him
     
  11. I've managed to do plenty of triples, just never 2 in in the same run. :(
    Sticking to it, though.

    Paz is heavier -- I believe he picks up speed faster, but jumps slower. Kind of the opposite of Maya.

    Thanks for your support. :)
    Like AppUnwrapper said, I did them a couple of times too but not during this mission. But I won't disappoint you...

    I have to tell you, this is the most beautiful game i ever play with my ipad. I never thought it would be possible to love something like this because of the visuals, essentialy. Gameplay is good, but i have to admit it's pretty the same as ski safari. But the art is... Reeally awesome. I play it because of your work, thank you for that, it's a real pleasure. C'est un vrai chef-d'oeuvre, bravo.

    Thanks a lot for your work. Good luck for the future.

    Hi Harry,

    Love the game. As others have said its art is fantastic, and I love that you have called yourself the artist before developer. This game is basically art!
    The rain, lightening, sunrise and sunset are my personal favourite backdrops/times to play.

    One thing that I think may make it flow better (for me anyway) is that when you are on the ground tap and hold gives a tuck position which builds up a bit of speed, letting go then makes you jump. I have fallen ito countless chasms because I tap to get ready to jump, only to jump and miss the ramp/edge!
    On the other hand I can understand why you wouldn't want to do this, as I think this is what ski safari uses, and it is already being compared to that.

    Also something else to spend the coins on would be good (although o haven't spent any yet as I am saving up for the wingsuit!!)

    It's not the same as Ski Safari, since if you fall in that one, you can continue as long as the snow doesn't catch you. In Alto you have to be more careful and calculate more when performing tricks. This, along with the stunning/relaxing visuals is what has me completely hooked to the game.

    I don't normally like these one button 'tiny wings' type games but this is exceptional. Amazing graphics. Plays so well

    I think adding a couple tricks would make the gameplay more interesting and sustainable. Even just a spin would be nice. Anything to add a little more depth to the experience. The art and sound are amazing. Congrats on creating a AAA ios experience.

    Noticed tht simply swiping up makes u jump without the backflip animation to follow as tapping and holding does. Not sure if this has been posted but anyhow, hope it enlightens some;!
     
  19. Hmm not sure what you mean. Doing a short swipe up has the same result as a short tap for me, and swiping up and holding still causes the flip.

    Seems to me tht there is s discernible difference in the height of the swipe jump and the height of the tap jump before he starts to roll.
