You will also usually find a set of upgrades you can purchase either with the in-game currency you collect during your runs or with actual cash. With the gameplay as simple as it is, endless runners are often packed with a lot of cosmetic variety, for your character and/or the environment he/she runs in. The controls are usually pretty simple, you tap to jump and swipe to slide, or something in that nature. Endless runner is a casual breed of game where you control a character that automatically moves through the stage-not necessarily by running skateboarding, jetpacking, you name it- to keep him/her from crashing/falling. Let’s put the obvious visual greatness of the game aside and talk about endless runner first. It took me exactly one run to fall in love with Alto it’ll took you exactly one review to try it. Just a few weeks ago, developer/publisher Noodlecake Studio brought the critically acclaimed mobile game to Android and Amazon Kindle. The amazing runner is developed by Snowman-who surprisingly doesn’t make a lot of games-and was originally published for iOS early 2014. In the case of mobile endless runner video game genre, the work would be Alto’s Adventure.

Sometimes all it takes to restore your faith in a certain genre is one exceptional work.
