The game was followed by Alto's Odyssey in 2018, which trades the mountain setting for a sandy desert. In 2020 both games were bundled in a Compilation Re-release (The Alto Collection) for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, and in 2021 the sequel received an Apple Arcade port with additional content (Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City).
Tropes present in this game:
- Alliterative Title: Altos Adventure.
- Bottomless Pits: One of the primary obstacles. Miss a jump, and it's game over.
- Double Jump: Felipe the llama has this ability, allowing you to go through new heights that other characters can't reach. It also makes backflipping easier.
- Fragile Speedster: Maya can make backflips quickly, but her boosts don't last as long.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Izel. All the items in the workshop, including her rocket-powered snowboard are all created by her.
- Have a Nice Death: Following in the footsteps of Temple Run, both games have these sorts of messages upon game over (Odyssey will sometimes provide useful tips on how to avoid a crash instead):"Ouch! Crash landing!"
"Watch out for that rock/campfire!"
"Almost there!"
"Better luck next time!"
"Respect your elders!" - Implausible Boarding Skills: Alto and friends can grind on all sorts of surfaces with ease, including roofs, ropes, and vines. The Sandboard upgrade in Odyssey allows you to climb up walls.
- In-Universe Game Clock: The game can change from day to night. Seeing the sunset or sunrise gives you a bonus.
- Jack of All Stats: Alto himself. He lacks any special abilities, but also any disadvantages.
- Master of All: Tupa (in Adventure) and Sumara (in Odyssey) have the abilities from all other characters (Maya's fast backflips, Paz's long boosts, Izel's rocket-powered boosts, and Felipe's Double Jump) in addition to their own unique perks (Tupa gets a one-time save from a chasm, Sumara will not be attacked by lemurs).
- Mighty Glacier:
- Paz takes longer to backflip, but his boosts last longer.
- Downplayed for Izel, who has the same time to perform backflips as Alto, but landing will give her serious speed boost thanks to her rocket-powered snowboard.
- Recycled In Space: Alto's Odyssey is Alto's Adventure IN A DESERT!
- Video Game Flight: The Wingsuit upgrade allows you to fly for a short distance after you've completed enough tricks.
