• Platform: Play in a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) on your computer.
• Controls:
  • Jump: Click the left mouse button anywhere on the screen to make the ball jump upward.
  • Restart: When you lose all 3 lives and see "Game Over," click the "Restart" button with the left mouse button to start a new game.
• Gameplay:
  1. The game begins with a countdown: "3, 2, 1, Go!"—get ready!
  2. Click repeatedly to keep the ball in the air and dodge moving obstacles (walls, top walls, and gap walls).
  3. If you hit an obstacle or fall too far:
     • First two hits: You lose a life (shown as "Lives: X"), hear a "hit" sound, and become invincible (transparent) for 0.5 seconds, letting you pass through obstacles.
