You just Forgot to add gravity (AY ACCELERATION)  
(I also made a jump the MANUAL way. instead of using Jump \_ Pixels)

here’s better code for you: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S53924-72555-02327-24526](https://arcade.makecode.com/S53924-72555-02327-24526)

the short answer is, “you made it to a positive number, making it go down.” but if you want more information about the blocks, read this.

your problem was the fact that you put 100, which makes it go downwards. to make it go up, you have to put a negative number.

it’s because there is the “set acceleration” block that i put on the start which adds gravity to the game. so when you make it go up, it falls back down. if you want to slow it down, for, lets say, a space level, you can lower the velocity by adding a “set x” block and changing the “x” into the “ay (acceleration y)” and lowering down to something like 200.

it’s positive, positive means down or right, put the number in negative.
