Snowman’s lovely snowboarding gameAlto’s Adventurelanded on Android todayand it’s free.
While this is a premium title on iPhone and iPad, the Android version instead has “a variety of opt-in bonuses for players who might need a little extra help, or otherwise want to show their support,” according to the studio, who assures the “core gameplay experience” remains the same.
“After playing games such asCrossy RoadandThrees! Freewe began to understand that free-to-play can be done in a very tasteful and respectful manner,”wroteSnowman co-founder Ryan Cash. “We also heard about the crazy levels of piracy on Android (thanks in part to Ustwo Games’ incredibly insightfulMonument Valleyinfographic), and wanted to ensure thatAlto’s Adventurecould be as accessible as possible for everyone, while still being good for business.”
Sounds reasonable to me. It would be wonderful to see this team continue making games.
