Hello, I am currently writing a JSW style game as a java applet
it is actually more like Top hat willy
( http://pastrytech.com/willy/ )
if anyone would like to design some levels (using Mappy
http://www.tilemap.co.uk ), graphics or just playtest,
let me know as I could do with some help (the programming is
pretty much done).

any suggestion, comments etc welcome.

Cool applet! It's nice to break away from the simple graphics of the
Spectrum once in a while! ;-)

I miss the quirky features of Spectrum JSW though.

A couple of features I found interesting - and I'm not saying they're
necessarily a bad thing - is that the ramps don't pick you up at the
bottom, and you can't walk or jump against the direction of a
conveyor.

It also seems you can fall without dying (à la We Pretty, Goodnite
Luddite and Willy's Afterlife), and there aren't enough things to
kill you! ;-)
