so i started to have a look at carts i could adapt for my own purpose and i've taken zep's collide demo as the basis of my new game: apescape.

here's the story behind the game:

you are an alien (betsigutgrrl) from the planet futon who has come to earth to study humans. you've taken the form of an orangutan, and inadvertently got yourself caught and are now trapped in a zoo.

meanwhile another race of aliens from planet sofa have started to invade earth. can you escape the zoo whilst avoiding the sofarians?

the game is mostly a reskin of the demo, but i've started to keep track collisions between betsigutgrrl and sofarians. this will eventually form the health bar.

power ups will be in the form of fruit and random food left behind in your habitat,
