In game timer: 00:26.74

Glitchy powerupless way to win on the third cycle. It might be possible to not die at the end, but it doesn't matter. The time is saved.

If you're too close to the yeti while it's moving, you'll die. But it has to grab you for the glitch to work. I've had small time variations meaning I think a perfect run with this method would be to be pixel perfect as close to the yeti as possible without being killed when it jumps up.
