Did you know the creator of the blockbuster mobile game? alto’s adventure and Alto’s Odyssey Did you release your first 3D open world game in May? That’s true, that’s the rule. So why haven’t we heard about it? Unfortunately, Raya horizon is the latest victim of the quagmire mobile market.
Netflix has published the game on iOS and Android. This means you can only play when you are logged into the app with valid Netflix credentials. However, it’s also good news. This great game is practically free if you’re already logged into Netflix.
Let’s repeat the word “great”. Raya horizon It applies Alto aesthetics to a mountainous island. Run down cliffs using your cape like a wingsuit. Using his two fingers on the touchscreen, he steers his character at breakneck speed through mine shafts and under bridges.
Admittedly I was a little skeptical while loading Raya horizon. Most of the sprawling open-world designs don’t match me as I spend a few minutes here and there fumbling around with my phone. And how can mobile games from relatively small teams do something new in a genre that has underpinned big-budget console games for over a decade?
Developer Snowman cleverly solves this problem by working smarter, not harder, than his contemporaries. Raya horizon Effectively an endless series of flights down that massive mountain. The key lies in where and how the game starts.
I find it helpful to think of maps like pizza. Imagine an ant standing in the middle of a slice of pizza. Each slice of this pizza is topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, pineapple, and more. Looking around from an ant-sized perspective, he sees six slices of pizza lined up in the corner. A 360 degree rotation reveals options for every flavor. But the farther from the center of the pie, the larger each piece becomes, spreading out as the circumference increases. Plunge into a slice of pepperoni and you’ll soon be surrounded by greasy meat while the rest of your pizza slice disappears into the horizon.
that way Raya horizon works: Standing on top of the central mountain of the island, you’ll see hints of biomes such as swamps, snowy slopes, and bustling villages. Glide towards any biome, and the farther you go, the wider and wider it becomes, and suddenly you find yourself in a vast jungle.

What do you do in the game? Just slide on different shapes. There are always three new objectives in the game (fly near 30 trees, boost for 10 seconds, etc.) and complete them to increase your level. This will unlock new capes with different flight styles. Flying dangerously close to the ground, buildings, or trees earns you sparks that can be used for the aforementioned boosts. And those boosts and gusts of wind sweeping across the map will help you reach a new landing spot, from where you can begin your next run or catch your breath on your way to the surface.
Raya horizon Above all, it’s a relaxing game. All you really have to do is have a good time. And now that we know it exists, it is possible!
