Thank you for your comments, I am very glad to know that you like my
new game!
In the room "Quartermaster" I wanted that the player can start again
with infinite the action until succeeding finally... and without
losing a life! and in the room of the "The Magic Statuette" too.

Don't hesitate to give me other comments! Thank you.

I like much to transform Willy!
If you continues to explore you will have others surprises...

A horror... but an ocean without shark...it's not an ocean!

Yes,it's precisely the effect which I wanted to make,
a shell should be jumped, and this very small fish is there to kill
us...I find there it comic.

Yes it is true! moreover, they are the same one as I already used
in "JSW in Paris"... it's not voluntary if they resemble more
mutants than birds... =))

I very glad to know that you are already on this level! It's super!
I am hurry to know your opinion on these new rooms!

It's a place of died... in the depths.
This room seems easy, but to catch items, its fear should be
overcome...

Thank you very much for these messages about JSWED,
I have them all printed paper form and it will be quite useful for my
next creation.

I believe besides that I am doped... because I work already on
paper, I have much advanced project 3(Willy in Park Attraction) and
project 4(Willy in the land of the cathars)...
I am choosing which alternative of JSW64 will be used (Y or ]).
I will keep you informed!

See you soon
Hervé
