mario on trouble

You control Mario, who is stuck at the bottom of a vertical screen. The goal is to guide him upward, avoiding a rising wall of fire from below. You use the arrow keys to move left and right, and you click the mouse to shoot projectiles at enemies above. The main challenge is managing your climb while dealing with these obstacles. You have to find safe platforms to stand on, but you also need to clear a path by shooting enemies like Goombas. The fire forces you to keep moving, which creates a constant pressure. The game feels frantic and a little clumsy, but in a way that makes you want to try one more time.
