Instead of tapping, you have to swipe the screen from the right side of the display to the left. No, we are not making you rebels, just taking you to the Zen mode. Easy to access, if not to spotĪll you have to do is, launch the app and when you get to the main screen where the app asks you to tap on the screen to start the game, well, DO NOT TAP.

The irony is that it is actually right out there. At first, we did not even know there WAS a Zen mode because we could not spot it on the game’s menu or settings. There’s a catch, though – the Zen mode is not easy to find. Sounds like your cup of tea? Well, go ahead and activate it. You can plug in your earphones, sit back and enjoy the ride. You just have to start the game, and Alto will keep riding on his own, without having to ever worry about crashing or falling. Once you get into the Zen mode in the game, you can literally stop thinking and leave the controls. The Zen mode in the Alto’s Odyssey is about simplifying matters. Want to make the experience even more simple and serene? All of which requires constant concentration on the game. Just sit back and relax…don’t worry about jumps and coinsįor, even though Alto’s Odyssey is very pacifying and super simple, the main game still requires for you to complete challenges to progress and save yourself from crashing into rocks by tapping on the screen.

We called it the Zen Master of endless runners, remember? And that’s because playing it gives us almost a Zen-like peaceful feeling.Īnd actually, what not too many know is that the game ACTUALLY has a Zen mode in it as well. The game is not really about the rush of completing challenges or trying to ride for the longest time, it is about type experience that just subtly helps you feel better. And all of these new moves, graphics and music, all just blend in with the serene vibe of the game. And that is because, as we mentioned in our review, Odyssey has not only kept the basics of Alto’s adventure in place but has also added new dimensions to the game – instead of the snow, Alto surfs on sand, and there are environments like canyons and temples.

The recent version, called Alto’s Odyssey is available on iOS (coming on Android later) and just like its predecessor, it is has become the new favorite endless runner game in no time. Snowboard has introduced the much-awaited sequel to its endless runner game, Alto’s Adventure.
