Yeti is life. Yeti is king.

I liked how you manage to do a 3D game with only flat images and not really with 3D models, great trick. Nice job.

Very original and quite fun. Love the sounds. Wish I'd have noticed earlier that I was starving though.

I played with it 10mins but didn't get the real goal of the game. Anyone find the skeleton king? :D
BTW, very good game! :)

The description said Dating Sim. The screenshots had yeti and lumberjacks. Imagine my disappointment when he didn't accept the offering of rabbit meat I left strewn around the tree he was hiding in. </3

Never before have I expected I would some day say this, but the skeleton king smelled SO dang sparkly. I just wanted to chase him through the woods forever. I loved the visual depiction of scent-tracking using drifting, fading particles; I might have to borrow this for a pet project of mine.

Thank you for this weird, wonderful survival sim. The Yeti Perseveres, fools! I'm out!

Pretty great this!
I died of starvation 5 meters away from my bride with the third skull in hand, brilliant!

I would play it again except for these few problems:
- Carrying only one item at a time. I can understand if a yeti can't figure out how to carry three items, but he does have two hands for a reason!
- The rabbit meat could have been slightly more filling and/or the hunger slightly less severe. There wouldn't be a single living thing left in the forest if yetis were this rapacious!
- The fade to black didn't quite work in full screen at least. It only covered part of the screen.

I'm telling you, brilliant!

Now *that's* what it feels like to be a monster! Great mood, great mechanics. Got a bit stuck; I guess hunters don't respawn? I left some skulls somewhere before I realized they were necessary.

Gave the baby meat, not sure what the next step is? Great game, good use of the theme. I really wanted to kill the humans.

I liked the melt between 2d sprites and 3d.
And I liked the lumberjack when they scream and climb on the trees

this was fun
it didn't seem too hard to keep my tummy filled though... after I filled it up it stopped going down so I didn't really need to keep eating people but i did anyway cause I'm a yeti

Very moody game. It was fun sneaking through the forests! I couldn't find the skeleton king tho! D:

Cool game! My observations: I wish the the movement could be a bit faster. In the future an ambient sound could do a lot for immersion. Good entry!

Nice job, love the throwback 3D graphics, I found the dating sim part, but couldnt figure out what to do

Nice work! The old school graphics are really nicely done! It totally feels like a game I'd be playing in the 90's, nice sound fx!

The controls are really responsive!

I had to look a bit too much for the dating sim part, though! :P

Good Work, Cheers! ;)

Couldn't figure out the dating sim part, but the game was fun nonetheless.

Really neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/VOSoNttI06o
