Anyone played Willy's Great Adventure yet, on the Recreated ZX Spectrum? Reviews?

As the title states - I'm wondering what WOSers think of this game, and has anyone actually played it?

I haven't seen much of anything about it online... but I'm intrigued, and have been considering purchasing it.

Any impressions / reviews? Worth the cost of admission?

Thanks in advance!

    Don't buy it. Don't send any money in the direction of Steve Wilcock (intentional typo, in case you were wondering).

    Besides, it's just the regular game edited by some noname guy using one of the game editors readily available on WOS.

    Anyone know if it's the same Terry Lloyd that worked with Gremlin?

    What is the 'price of admission' and is it only available as an in-app purchase as I can't see this in either Apple or Google's stores?

    Yeah it's the same Terry Lloyd. Seems like it was something he did prior to getting into the industry.

    It was £1.49 when it was first announced. Presume it's the same now.

    My wife bought me one of those things, it's still sitting in the box, makes me feel dirty just looking at it :))

    Maybe if I ever get round to trying it I'll have a go at this game? I'm assuming if it was made using a JSW editor many years ago it's not going to be anything special. But saying that some of the really old JSW remakes are quite good (Of course some of them are a broken glitch mess, but erm...yeah).

    Played on my android phone and is a tricky beat in some places (need some good timed jumps), but would rather it exported to a real emulator or speccy rather than these remake systems or android/ios. Sadly protected and need to root phone to get access to snapshot but alas cannot root due to the security restrictions and encryption work imposes on my phone :/

    My in-laws are bit like that, if they get a hint of anything you seem to like you cop it with the presents. I've had a billion old doctor who books from the crap side and computer related trash over the years. :)
    Sod it!
