iTunes App Store:

Just beyond the horizon sits a majestic desert, vast and unexplored.

Join Alto and his friends and set off on an endless sandboarding journey to discover its secrets.

Soar above windswept dunes, traverse thrilling canyons, and explore long-hidden temples in a fantastical place far from home.

Along the way, you’ll grind across vines, bounce atop hot air balloons, ride towering rock walls, and escape mischievous lemurs — all while uncovering the desert’s many mysteries.

A sequel to easily my favorite iOS game of all time, Alto’s Adventure, I was pleasantly surprised to see Alto’s Odyssey hit the App Store a day early - and not just because I’m home sick today.

The beautiful minimal style (in both art and music) continues here, and the gameplay is brilliantly refined, especially for being controlled by one touch. Definitely worth the cost of a latte.

iMore has a great interview with the creators about the game, which I recommend reading if you’re a fan of either title.
