Gameplay

The plot of ''Urban Yeti!'' focuses on a yeti's quest to find a yeti mate in a large city populated with humans. The game plays from a top-down perspective similar to the early '' Grand Theft Auto'' games. The player must make their way through the city in order to come across missions, which take the form of separate minigames, such as when the yeti must get a job in order to earn the money to pay a toll to cross a bridge. As the yeti walks around the city, he is attacked by townspeople and must try to avoid being killed. The game features four minigames and four missions to complete. Once minigames are completed, the player is unable to go back and play them again unless they type in the password for the section of the game they are in.
