Only question would be for the infinite lives version to be improved so that the character dies and is reset on screen, rather than simply disabling the effect of death! Trying to avoid enemies is more challenging than simply walking straight through them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-03-04* I love this game as a kid but this is a disappointment. Does not work in landscape and there are plenty of bugs. I got stuck in a wall minutes in. Pity. ### 1/5 — Poor game *2020-01-05* This app is abysmal, not got it to load once , you’re preying on people’s nostalgic memories of this game........ you should be giving everyone their money back and apologising for wasting their time. ### 1/5 — Update *2018-10-05* Great game did work, please update ios ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-10-25* Got the latest iPad update and app is not compatible ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-08-14* Paid for game but it doesn't work, would like my money back please! ### 1/5 — Jet set willy *2016-05-31* Have a lot of trouble getting this game to download when it does it keeps crashing don't waste your money ### 1/5 — Not working. *2012-01-02* How do I get my money back? ### 2/5 — Used to work..... *2019-04-25* Just updated and now it keeps crashing. And I lost my saved games. That's another app now unplayable... Disappointed is an understatement. ### 2/5 — Nice game but bugs need to be fixed *2011-12-29* Game keeps hanging when jumping into We Must Perform A Quirkafleeg room.....this is very frustrating as I've been going for hours. Pls fix this ### 4/5 — A couple of problems i've not been able to figure out *2011-09-08* Love the game, had the original on the rubber keys and had days of fun trying to get the elusive items! One problem with this version i have found is that there is no way of getting to the April Showers room or down into the caves. Unless i am missing something this means you cannot complete the game. When i climb the rope from the beach it just returns me to the beach room in the sand (that's when i can actually get the jump right to try and get into the room). Also there is no hole in the floor on the kitchens room to get you down into the caves. If I have missed something, please let me know or fix the bug! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My childhood revisited *2024-10-13* Maybe it’s been updated since the bad reviews but it works perfectly for me and it was FREE! Took me right back. ### 5/5 — Blast from the past *2013-12-04, version v1.2* Awesome used to play this as a kid ### 5/5 — A piece of history *2012-06-01* I love this game. Is exactly like it was. Only buy though if your a fan ### 5/5 — Hilarious!! *2011-05-14* So hokey and old school! I never grew up with the ZX computers. I started out with the sega master system. And yet I did come in contact with old computers. My little kindergarten friends would sometimes have an older brother who had something like this and I totally identify with it! I can tell this is authentic. I don't have a thing to complain about! ### 5/5 — Yes, yes, it'll appear on the zx spectrum.... *2011-03-15* ....elite thing but until then this is Jet Set Willy for a quid. A small piece of history for a quid. You owe it to yourself and Matthew Smith to get this. Brilliant..........Sabre Wulf next please....everyone's a wally.....the hobbit..........keep it up.....my children don't understand and that's exactly how it should be. Except the music is wrong isn't it? That's Manic Miner music. ### 5/5 — Superb *2011-02-26* The four original bugs from 1984 have been fixed in this version - no more repeated deaths after visiting the attic! This is a spot-on emulation, with the 3 controls able to be customised anywhere on the screen. I've spent hours mastering the rooms and can now get a quarter of the way through a completion run... so I have many more hours to go! Note that if you buy the ZX Spectrum emulator then you can get this game with 5 others (from March 2011) for the same price. ### 5/5 — Jet set willy *2011-02-14* Fantastic been waiting for this thanks elite and steve Wilcox job well done ! Down load this classic Sinclair spectrum game now ! ### 5/5 — So cool *2011-02-13, version v1.0* Omg it's the exact same as the original in the 80's. I remember my sister and I playing this for hours trying to get past the levels. I used to think it was so hard! Great for nostalgia value. ### 4/5 — Excellent, but cheat mode flawed *2011-04-25* Cheat mode switches sprite detection off, and gives infinite lives -making the game much easier! The problem is that you can get stuck in situations where you cannot escape (eg, trapped in a hole you can't jump out of) or continuously falling into a shape that kills you. Is there any way to enhance cheat mode to allow you to restart the screen? Otherwise, the port is excellent. Keep up the good work. Next? Pajamarama?
