Game description:
Mighty Jill Off is a vertical side-scroller, with a plot revolving around Jill Off and her mistress, the Queen, with Jill trying the earn the right to lick her mistress' boots. In order to do so, the Queen casts her down from the tower they live in, and Jill has to get back to the top to prove herself.
The game's plot can be interpreted as a reference to the difficulty of earlier platformers, where players had to overcome difficult obstacles, just because the "master" told the player to do so.
Jill wears a bat-like suit, which she can use to hover mid-air, slowing her falls. She can also jump great heights, and can stop her jumps. These skills will be put to use during the tower's different levels, where Jill will have to avoid deadly spikes, fires and skull-headed spiders. To progress, Jill needs to master controlled jumping, limiting the height or floating in the air to navigate difficult passages. Jill has infinite lives, in the case of death, she just respawns at the beginning of the level (although there are some checkpoints during the longer levels).
What I think:
Amazingly fun and addictive!
I would even go so far to say that this is THE best Atari 8-bit game I have played.
