Universal Alto's Adventure (by Snowman)

Discussion in 'iPhone and iPad Games' started by sink_or_swim, Feb 19, 2015.

  1. Btw, if you don't mind spoilers, here's some footage of all 6 characters in action. :)

    FYI, I usually don't enjoy runners for very long. But this is really something special.

    Good game, I like it so far but I'm not sure I love it yet.

    How to change character? Or do you have to reach a certain level?

    A suggestion: make the rocks a bit more visible at night. They are difficult to see with the dark trees. Maby make them more light, so it stands out from the slope.

    Thanks!

    Well wait until the camera zooms out when you do a huge jump and the character looks like a tiny rotating piece of rice. Hard to land it when you can't tell where the board is... lol

    I like the relaxing vibe though... Fun game.

    Bought it because I love Ski Safari and liked the random weather/lighting seen on the videos. It looks similar but very different at the same time. We'll see if it meets my expectationsÂ…

    I don't think it's too small. I'm on a 5s too and the size is actually good.

    True, it's hard to see them at night, but it's something i like because it makes the ride a bit more difficult, as we have to deal with the light. It's different from ski safari on this point. I'm agree with you about changing characters or levels, i don't know how. I suppose it will be possible later in the game, with a higher score.

    My suggestion : the shop isn't very attractive, i don't feel i want to buy anything but the wingsuit. I would like to customize my character or buying something different, like better stuff, or night vision googles.. :)

    guys... what are you talking about?
    this is not a game, this is a gem, brilliant and so SOULFULL experience.
    this one stands near to games like Journey for me.
    music, art, gameplay.
    love it. awesome work.

    The visual aesthetics are definitely in the vein of Monument Valley and some of Simogo's game (and its riveting ambience) while the mechanics run parallel to Ski Safari.

    I'd really like to see more unlockables in the game besides the wingsuit, however. Customization like purchasable apparel items (toque/goggles/scarves) could be an option.

    Also I feel like the game could use a little more variety of soundtrack. Im almost tempted to mute the game after having to play it for roughly an hour now.

    i agree with previous comments, in fact it was my first post:

    1) the rocks at night are sneaky and end your run all too often.
    2) the shop could use more stuff to buy, because the magnets and feathers aren't that often, and the wingsuit is way too expensive.. give us some other stuff to buy until then :)
    3) How do you unlock the characters?

    other than that, instabought and don't regret it, it's like monument valley on ski!

    yes.. leaderboards work fine but for example the "beat 10 missions" achievement won't unlock although I'm already at level 8.

    It looks wonderful, too bad it is a runner. I don't think I can stand one more runner even tough it looks great.

    I'm actually happy that it's a runner. It would be a shame if it was as short as Monument Valley.

    Is there a way to move the pause button to the right? I tend to use my left hand on one tap runners.
