Alto's Odyssey
When your brain is screaming, give it one job: tap, glide, breathe. No score. No losing. Just sand and sky.
Who it's for
The one-touch control (tap to jump, hold to flip) is simple enough that it absorbs attention without demanding strategy, which is the sweet spot for pulling a racing mind out of rumination.
Feelings it meets
What it is
