10 years ago today my life changed forever.

On the morning of February 19th, 2015, Alto’s Adventure launched into the world.

What started as a tiny passion project became something that took over my life in ways I never expected.

Here’s a look back – at the highs, the wild moments and the people who made it all possible. 🏔️✨🧵

I may have reached a point of insanity in testing at high latency...

They say you shouldn't pick favourites, but this might be our cutest enemy!

Thrilled to see Laya's Horizon nominated for Best Netflix Game and Best Platforming Game by Pocket Gamer!

[Pocket Gamer @PocketGamer]

This year @Netflix has really broken into the mobile gaming scene with some fantastic releases, including @OxenfreeGame II, @Terra_Nil, and @layashorizon. Vote for your favourite now!

Baldur's Gate 3 is great. First game to succeed in capturing the essence of a 5E campaign.

As somebody with notoriously bad rolls though (rolled 7 or less 10 checks in a row last night), I miss having a human DM to make my bad luck fun instead of limiting.

[Arthur Daurio @ArthurDaurio]

Interested to see where the Unity monetization ends up. I imagine we aren't seeing what will actually go into effect in January

[Arthur Daurio @ArthurDaurio]

Love the way they describe Laya's Horizon in this article. Proud to have helped bake this pizza. Thank you @Polygon for the stellar review!

[Polygon @Polygon]

If you have Netflix, try this open-world game immediately https://t.co/zQikPnX4Bv

If you know a good VFX artist, send them our way!

[Dark Age Dinos @WoollyWalrusInc]

5/5! Exciting to still see some attention coming our way

[TouchArcade @toucharcade]

If you have a @Netflix subscription, @layashorizon from @builtbysnowman is worth your time with its solid mechanics, marvelous design, and more. Our review: https://t.co/qA0GNaDQ54 by @ShaunMusgrave

I eagerly waited 20 years for a viable werebear in a Diablo game.

Maybe next time

[Arthur Daurio @ArthurDaurio]

Great to see all of the positive feedback around Laya's Horizon

[Snowman @builtbysnowman]

Since releasing Laya’s Horizon we’ve been paying close attention to everyone’s reviews and feedback. We’re overwhelmed by the positivity we’ve received and want to send a huge thanks to our community for the support! Take a look at our Review Round-Up: https://t.co/TjQ6JdM3vc

[Arthur Daurio @ArthurDaurio]

You can ride a bear?! 10/10 game. Did not see that coming.

[Arthur Daurio @ArthurDaurio]

Well, well, well. Look who made 4th place (I choose to believe the list is ranked)

[Esquire @esquire]

Does 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' make the cut? (It does. Obviously.) https://t.co/VK0CxJhGiI

[Snowman @builtbysnowman]

Wow! We’re so honoured to receive a 9.5 rating from @ign_in. Thank you so much @hazelnutcrumb for this generous review of @layashorizon. Take a look at the full article here: https://t.co/9B5sugukfS

Finally started TotK last night. My favourite little detail so far is how effectively they use mirrored animations.
Too many games just let jump animations snap awkwardly at weird points in run cycles. Link having two jump animations is such a simple and effective solution.

[Snowman @builtbysnowman]

When we first embarked on the journey of creating @layashorizon, we never anticipated it would grow into the project it is today. In this behind-the-scenes look, our incredible team leads dive deeper into the development process of our latest title: https://t.co/5nclfKLP84
