Top Hat Willy Overview
Top Hat Willy is a flick-screen platform game where the player navigates a large, unusual mansion. The environment is populated by various hazards, including animated creatures and objects that pose a threat.
Progress involves moving through numerous rooms to gather flashing collectibles. A persistent display tracks both the count of these items and the number of areas visited. The game is known for being challenging due to its many environmental dangers.
Its visual style directly references an earlier ZX Spectrum title, despite utilizing a broader color range. This results in a distinct aesthetic where each enemy and screen segment is defined by solid colors on a black background, adhering to an 8x8 pixel grid structure.
