THE STORY:
Ach... someone's kidnapped Willy and Maria has to pay the kidnappers the
amount of colour cycling items they demand. (The game explains itself...)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Q-P: Move left and right
Bottom row: Jump
SHIFT+ENTER: Reset game

WHAT'S NEW?:
Uh... a lot...

NOTES:
Maria unlike Willy cannot die from falling. (She's just to damn tough...)
Some bad guys can be touched, some can not. There's an incredible amount
of secret stuff throughout the various rooms. And... probably a whole lot
more I should let you in on, but you'll figure it out. (The rules have
somewhat changed.)

And... You may of course rip or manipulate any parts of the graphics (or code)
done by me...
