📘 How to Play Going Up

In 'Going Up', you take control of a kangaroo and must jump your way to the highest point possible. Use left and right movements to land on green platforms, but aim for the pink star platforms to get a super boost that sends you flying much higher. Just be careful: if you fall off the bottom, the game ends.

1. Hold the left or right side of the screen, or press 'A' and 'D', to move the kangaroo in that direction.
2. Land on green platforms for a normal jump, but hit the pink star platforms to get a powerful super jump.
3. Keep moving the kangaroo left or right while it is in the air to stay balanced and avoid falling into the void.
4. Focus on climbing higher and higher; every successful landing adds to your height score.

👶 What to expect at ages 5-12

This game challenges a child's reflexes and precision. It may be difficult to predict where the kangaroo will land, especially when trying to hit the small pink star platforms for a super jump.

🏠 At home and in class

Play together and cheer loudly when your kangaroo hits a pink star platform and flies high. Encourage your child to call out 'left' or 'right' as they move the character to help them internalize direction control.

💡 Tips

• Don't stop moving while in the air; adjust the kangaroo's position mid-jump to aim for the next platform accurately.
• Prioritize hitting pink star platforms because they give you a significant height boost compared to green ones.
• Try to anticipate the jump direction slightly before your kangaroo leaves the current platform to ensure a smooth landing.
