You get errors at crucial moments in the game that need fixing.

The sound effects turn to decent music that is hypnotic and that is the winning part of the game

[land of games]

is the game en francais?
je parle un peu de francais.

The game is in Yetish

Given the title has indeed french words but definitely no trace of french grammar. so no.

[land of games]

actually if you make it La Lutte d'une ape neige
instead of La Lutte d'une Neige Ape
its perfectall correct.

I'll take a look at those. Thank you for pointing that out, and I'm glad you like the sound effects!

And thank you for the correction land of games, i'll make the change with the next update.

EDIT: The errors should all be fixed and the title has been changed.

As I see you remember the caps...

But actually it would be

La lutte d'un yéti

given,
1) Neige Ape is not really anything french, neither is ape neige
2) Of course yeti, the noun used to indicate the race, has a masculine form; so it's "un yeti". Unless we know the actual animal we speak of is female.

of course all this makes the title lose its charm.

I'm sure glad I did not have to learn french as a second language, that male female thing is so confusing and it's funny how often people use the wrong sex most always.

Cool.

[land of games]

meh i make mistakes.
i dont know yeti (the word)
and i assumed ape was a word and was feminine.
**je parle un plus plus petit peu de francais.

[icuurd12b42]

Actually, Yeti is used in both French and English, it's from the Tibetan language. It's like Sasquatch for Big Foot, Yeti for abominable snowman, in french abominable homme des neiges. But those are really deprecated names.

How about

Raksha's Escape

for a title.

If you hit something while being an ice cube you get this error:

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Collision Event with object stalactite
for object Yeti:

Error in code at line 5:
       {if global.sfx=0
                  ^
at position 17: Unknown variable sfx

Good game otherwise, although I hate the slipping movement!

Rats! I thought I had gotten all of those. I'm glad you like it! I'm actually working on a spin off to this game where instead of the debris affecting the environment, the Yeti does and he solves puzzles that way.

EDIT: Fixed!

That aside, you may want to make your graphics a bit less intense color-wise (in brightness).

You are welcome!

The game is nice! good concept ! Go on and make it ORIGINAL !

[Bjorn Morrison]

This is very good Mr Jetsnacks! The interplay of the different statuses works really well.

My suggestions:

A way to start the game with the keyboard - this is a pet hate of mine, mixing keyboard and mouse controls when you don't have to.
Some text to tell you the current status - maybe near your health, or Diablo/Borderlands style appearing above your head.
Your own pause and escape to main menu code (the GM boxes look so standard).

Great stuff, I look forward to further updates,

I was really confused by all the different objects. Was there a help file somewhere that I missed?

[Mr. Jetsnacks]

I was really confused by all the different objects. Was there a help file somewhere that I missed?

At the title screen it says "press 'i' for help". you can press that at any point in the game to get a full run through of the objects, statuses, gameplay and controls. i am looking to incorporate more communication from the game to the player so that they arent slapped in the face with everything before they know whats going on.

Thank you everyone for checking it out and I'm glad you enjoy it!

@Bjorn- thanks for the advice! I'll definitely work all of that in there!

all it needs is better graphics and more diversity in the scenery.

Thanks! I'm actually in the process of looking for an artist, so if you or anyone you know is skilled at pixel art and is looking for something to work on, send them my way!
