of them), on my website. So I like to think I'll be helping to redress
the balance. I really want to go in-depth with screenshots and
descriptions and maybe the odd mini-map to explain why I think "Willy
Game X" is so wonderful.
Last night I had a quick playthrough of Monstrum!... What does it for
me in this game is the way it's stylishly minimal and the way it works
with themed clusters of rooms with similar graphics for the blocks.
But then other games like Party Willy are the opposite and cram an
insane amount of challenge into a condensed and attractive package. So
many different styles, each as individual as the author that penned
(moused?) it. The reason I want to show this is because it shows that
JSW is art with a lot of room for individual expression.
And I'm STILL seeing people who want to write retro-styled platform
games and haven't discovered the MM/JSW scene. That's just needless :(
