JSW 1-1 was the first of five JSW games created by Nick Aldridge between 2000 and 2003.

GAME PREMISE: The game is set between the events of the original JSW and JSW II, during the ongoing conversion of Willy's mansion by strange, green-skinned builders. After a particularly rowdy party, Willy has just thrown out the last guests, only to find Maria, once again, refusing to let him go to bed until he cleans up the mess. Instead of firing her and hiring a competent cleaner, Willy decides to tidy up his redesigned house himself. While the mansion's layout remains familiar, every screen has changed. Can you help Willy clean the house and finally get some rest?

JSW 1-1 features significant modifications to the screen layouts, including some brand-new rooms, while almost all of the guardian sprites and paths, as well as the majority of cell patterns (building blocks), remain unchanged from the original JSW (the author explained on his website that he "couldn't work out how to use the guardian editor").
