The first time I tried it didn't register, I believe because I landed too far away. I'm guessing the elder camp must remain visible on the screen as you land (maybe with some tolerance..)
will try it this way, although it's very hard to do since all backflips take me away from his screen ... even those i start as soon as i see him appear on the other end of the screen. Edit: yes, just got it thanks! i was deliberately slowing myself down this time, so when the elder appeared i did a slow speed backflip, landing just after his fire with him in the screen and it worked!
Has anyone been able to complete the "Smash into 2 rocks using one boost" mission? The boosts usually last only long enough to smash through one rock or the rocks would be too far apart. I feel like because these levels are randomly generated, you're just pulling your hair out until you stumble onto some luck. A lot of the tougher missions just makes me want to give up and delete this game altogether.
Some of the missions are very difficult with certain chars (this one for instance with maya is almost impossible). Paz's sonic boom lasts much longer than anyone else unlocked at that level. If you see a mission like that, think of which char would be easiest to do it with. I've done it accidentally with maya once. Paz though, just build up a lot of speed and stay as low to the ground as possible. Most of the goals aren't char specific, but a few are, just because of what they ask you to do. A lot of it is situational luck too, just being in the right circumstances at the right time, but the game also adjusts its randomly generated procedure to fit a particular mission imo, like spawning more rocks closer together when that's your goal. Either way, it's Paz you should use for that one.
My goodness, that day to night cycle in this game is gorgeous. I want to live on that snow-covered mountain. I've only played as far as unlocking Maya, but I'm loving this game. One of those games where I don't even mind when I stuff up, cos I'm perfectly happy to have another go.
Thanks guys for the help. I'll use Paz for this.It's the only mission I have left to get to the next level.I hope I won't wind up staying up too late for it as I have work tomorrow.
Yes, these are the archways they are referring to try doing a loop in the air when you see one. This helps you slow down and correct your aiming in order to thread the needle. This is also a good strategy for trying to catch llamas while wingsuiting. I love the difficulty of the missions it forces you to get better at the game, I find it strange that people don't have enough patients to work at it i'd feel ripped off if i bought a game and just cruised through all the missions in a day or two. I just think it adds to the repeatability, but I like a challenge. As for all the trouble with the wingsuit/not making it over chasms I think the trick is to be going as fast as you can all the time, with Maya you can backflip over pretty much every bump. Getting lots of back to back backflips and grinds activates it faster than going for one big combo
How do I know that the boost is enabled? Is it when there's a shield in front of me? When do these occur ?
Yea, I assume you're talking about Izel's specific mission, which was another ridiculous one in a bad way. The dev's said they're calling the shield the sonic boom, which makes sense given physics and all, so ima call it that. Every time you pull off a trick, bounce on a rock, grind, whatever, every time you do something that CAUSES text to pop up in the upper left side, you get a speed boost when you land, and set off the sonic boom shield. Paz's sonic boom lasts longer, but Izel's boost ceiling is higher, meaning that you can reach a higher top speed with her boost on vs anyone else's. I do however think some of the missions don't register correctly the first time you complete them, which is a shame cause some are very frustrating and situation specific. You can normally tell max speed's been reached cause your char turns white. Once it's white, get another couple of boosts by continuously doing tricks, which is easy with Izel, cause at max speed, you really aren't spending a lot of time on the ground with her anyway, or I don't at least.
This is the archway I was trying to quote above. Here's a 5 min gameplay vid that has lots of wingsuiting, tripple backflips, and three ramps to grinds.. all under 10,000meters travelled which isn't to difficult to get to with practice. All the frustrating elements I've seen on here (and definitely experienced first hand as well) become much easier with practice. Just have a little patience, pazz works the best for completing rock bounce to grind challenges as he doesn't jump as high. Alternatively using the wingsuit to slow down and get over a rock then deactivating it dropping you onto the rock is another good strategy. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Just had a great run. 98,400. Those of you on my friends list will be getting a challenge request lol.
I'm having the same issue on my iPhone. The game is suddenly having difficulty registering my taps. (e.g., during mid-flip legs will extend, will tap to jump and nothing will happen) When I switch to my iPad, the issue disappears. Thought it might have to do with orientation, but it doesn't. And I'm not willing to reset my progress. Anyone else having this issue?
Alto's is a serene experience pretty much the same to the frenetic Adventure Time Ski Safari. And they're both equally superb.
My wingsuit is actually broken (bugged), so others complaining about it not working may be having the same issue. I showed this to Ryan and he agreed and it will hopefully be fixed in the next update. So when I was complaining about my wingsuit not working, I had good reason.

This is exactly what happens to me: the player flashes but the wingsuit button doesn't appear. In my case, I have a 4S iOS 7.1.2 and an iPad 3 iOS 7.1.2. I began playing on my 4S and unlocked the wingsuit, where it works perfectly fine. Then I went to my iPad 3 and discovered that the wingsuit button doesn't show up. I hope they find the issue/bug
