Originally this game was for the [Outdoors Mini Game Jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-34-outdoors-jam/42463), but I recently decided to keep working on it. You can now climb using the [Up] button. (originally you had to line up the one pixel difference of your foot to climb stairs 🙃) I also edited the first level’s music to make it funkier. Press ‘B’ to read signs. Maybe I’ll add cars that drive past the crosswalk (tell me what you think). ---

cars could add some nice urgency without making it feel cheap, but id worry theyd feel annoying if theyre just random. maybe only on certain screens so its less chaotic? the climbing change sounds way better than the pixel-perfect thing tho ---
