The app comes with a Zen Mode that has a new soundtrack, and comes with no scores, no coins, and no power-ups, just endless running. There's also Photo Mode that lets you pause and take photos in the app. The studio behind the app, Snowman, revealed the Alto's Odyssey would be free on Android in an interview with Engadget, adding that its predecessor - which was launched for Android in 2016 - had performed admirably on Google Play thanks to the freemium model. Snowman said it has been downloaded 36.5 million times on Android, with a total of 647 billion play sessions.
