Top Hat Willy

Copied from Author's Readme.Txt

Gameplay:

When the game has begun, you may control Willy by using joystick or cursor keys (Press up arrow or any shift or control key to jump). To use the staircases, you must jump into them (Contrary to Jet Set Willy, where you had to jump through them to pass them). You should avoid all the moving monsters and deadly-looking spikes, as they are fatal to your health. Also, falling from too great heights causes death. Nine lives may sound much, but when you see how tough life is in Willy's mansion, the amount does not seem so luxurious!

The Aim of the game is to collect all the trash (flashing items) from the mansion and the mansion (under)grounds. Willy can't go to sleep unless this has been done. Perhaps he had a party and the house mistress won't let him sleep before the junk has been cleaned? Or perhaps Willy is from a cleaning company and he has been ordered to a haunted house? Well something like that. Anyway, in the true 8-bit tradition, the task is almost impossible. Only a highly persistent gamer or someone with mental problems can manage it. Even I haven't completed the game, and I am the author! The fun comes from trying to beat your, or even better, someone elses high score (However, I have tested that it is POSSIBLE to complete the game, so keep on trying... there is something nice in the end :)
