What the team wanted, and what they had, were two very different things until late in the development of Alto's Adventure. But while the option of going freemium was discussed, ultimately it just didn't fit with how Cash and Rosenberg want mobile gaming to grow.
Next up is the heavier, faster Paz, and so on – the point being that you're never invited to pay up front and over the odds for these powder players.Īs the first fully realised video game from Canadian developers Snowman – founded in 2012 by keen snowboarders Ryan Cash and Jordan Rosenberg – you could forgive the young studio for following the expected route: to pump their game full of cash-in incentives for quicker levelling and score-bumping runs. Reach level 10 and you unlock another character, Maya, with differently balanced abilities – her backflips are completed quicker, but she's slower to build speed. You pay your money and you get Alto as your little man on the screen. But while the likes of Temple Run and Jetpack Joyride encourage the player to speed up their progress by paying for upgrades, Alto's Adventure asks only that you spend £1.49/$1.99, and that's it: no more charges, no further costs to unlock essential perks, nothing that'll have your kids running up a gigantic phone bill to stay competitive with their mates' high scores.
