Hi there! Thanks a million for playing. I have the feeling that the skipping sound effects thing happens when you play For a long time and get through a large portion of the game in one sitting.. I've had it happen to me while testing once or twice. I think it's a limitation with the memory management of game maker 8. But when I restart the game it refreshes the ram and then it never happens so I hope the ending played out correctly for you. I'll have to take a look at the skip function on that final thing .I thought I had it all working.
