Platform One is a classic retro platformer in the style of JetSet
Willy. It runs in a browser with Java, so no need to download it.
Highscores are saved online (who will complete it first? :)

Although I would've liked to put more rooms in, I'm quite pleased
how it turned out. Collect all the coins to complete it.

(PS: try going right, down, left, down, left :)

Comments on style of play, bugs, suggestions welcomed.

I'm pleased with how this game has developed since I last saw it -
more things to kill you, more and better rooms, &c. Thanks I kept wanting a down-key for the ladders. Climbing up and down
ladders is a way that Spectrum JSW could be extended, but the lack of such is even more obvious here.

I guess I did use a lot of ladders, it didn't bother me though not
being able to go downwards; I like the onewayness of them. If I ever
get round to Platform 2 it should have quite a few new features.

Although MM/JSW are far and away the best platform-games I've ever
played,

Yes, they are the best, seem a bit slow nowadays. Maybe you could hack
going down ladders into the code (y+1 when on ladder). I also nominate
Chuckie Egg2 (spec) and Top Hat Willy (amiga).

I was surprised to top the high-score table after one rubbish go!

;-)
This ain't the case anymore (wp Dan) :)
