48. It's Wet Jelly

Language: English
It's Wet Jelly is a JSW remake released by Paul Equinox Collins, who anagrammed the room names, that is, changed every room name into another name made from the same set of letters (so that e.g. "The Bathroom" [33] became "The Ram Booth"). Paul anagrammed also the music and game messages (including the introductory scrolling message) and designed a new set of rooms and guardians to match.
The general structure of the house has been left intact. So, for example, as "First Landing" (28) is below "Top Landing" (34) in the original JSW, "Daft girl's inn" (28) is below "God in plant" (34) in It's Wet Jelly. The game also features four secret rooms with carefully disguised entrances, attached to the outer edges of the original map.
Number of edited rooms: 64
Number of rooms accessible without cheating: 64
Number of items to collect: 223
Bugfix needed after original release? NO
Spare lives at the start: 7
Completable without loss of life? NO
Lives which need to be sacrificed to complete the game: 1
(A life has to be lost after collecting the items in "Blind jeweller veers into hive" [40], as there is no way to get down safely.)
Starting time: 7:00 am
Best documented completion time with no unnecessary loss of life: 8:25 am
