After that long, lovely bit of footage we caught sight of from E3 earlier this year we've been counting down the days until Alto's Odyssey gets here, but it's bad news, kids. Alto's been delayed a little bit.

Announced on Built By Snowman's blog yesterday, it looks like the team are pushing the game on to give it the spit and polish it deserves.

"As a small studio striving to make sure everything we release is lasting and artful, we’re firm believers that much of what makes an experience magical lies in the little touches. The care and polish provided to make sure people are truly delighted."

We can't argue there. Apparently the endless desert with be even more mysterious and gorgeous than we've seen already. The team finished by saying there's no new release window right now.

I've said it before but I'll say it again. I'd rather wait a little longer to see Alto in its full glory once the developer is 100% happy with it, than to see an alright version of it sooner.

Judging by the responding Twitter comments, it looks like you guys are on the same page.
