Alto's Odyssey keeps the same basic gameplay of the original, being a side-scrolling endless runner based around snowboarding (now sandboarding). The player can jump by tapping the screen and do tricks by holding down on it. By doing tricks the player can increase their score which gets added to a online leaderboard at the end of their run. The sequel is set in a desert which features three "biomes" that each focus on different mechanics.

One of the areas is the dunes, which features rolling hills and rocks for the player to avoid. Another is the canyons that highlights the new wall riding mechanic, allowing the player to climb up the side of canyon walls by holding down on the screen. The final biome is the temples, which has vines which the player can ride on and waterfalls that can speed up the character. Later in the game it is possible to unlock a compass which allows the player to travel between biomes for a fixed cost in coins.

The game adds new features, such as wall-riding, water mechanics, tornadoes, falling platforms, a new power up, and balloon bouncing; and mechanics returning from the first installment such as a day-night cycle, weather, and the wingsuit. Like its predecessor, in addition to its original game mode, it also has a Zen mode, in which the player is invulnerable and can get up after hitting obstacles.

The game also retains the challenge system of the first game, where completing challenges allows the player to level up and unlock new characters. In Odyssey's "Workshop", the player can spend coins they collected in order to upgrade power-ups or unlock new abilities and features.
