IT'S EASY TO see that Laya's Horizon comes from the same developer as Alto's Adventure, and the effervescent momentum that made that title such a hit courses through the veins of its latest effort. It's swift, fun, and beautiful to behold, and a welcome antidote if you're sick of high-pressure, high-intensity mobile games.

You play as the titular Laya, a member of the Windfolk who traverse their island home by flying through the air with the help of wingsuit-like capes. Along the way you meet friendly island inhabitants, unlock new capes and charms to boost your abilities, and explore the skies on the gusts and thermals.
