My Own Platform Game heavily inspired by Jet Set Willy!

Not a patch on Jet Set Willy of course but i have used that game as inspiration, as well as Super Mario Bros and the BBC game Citadel. Keep watching the video because i think it gets better the longer it goes on. There is a robot-disco, waterfall and boat ride to look forward to :)

The game is not yet finished by a long stretch, so lot of improvements will be made - including to some of the graphics, although a lot of people have said they like the childish look to the graphics :)

Thank you :D yes some of it is a little mad. I did waste a lot of time doing stuff that didn't really matter, but hopefully it all adds to the experience :)
