  "guide": "- Draw sprites with a single element and a box-shadow per pixel (9–14px pixels); no images.\n- Snap every moving x/y to an 8px grid with a GSAP modifiers function so motion feels like hardware.\n- Use stepped column ridges at two depths for parallax (far moves ~40% of the ground speed).\n- Two-frame run cycle toggled with visibility every 0.14s; jumps are power2 up/down, snapped.\n- Only stepped eases for UI (steps(1–6)); never smooth fades except the white flash.\n- HUD in Press Start 2P: SCORE left, HI right. End on a paper card with a hard 16px shadow, red title, real details (where to play, platforms) and a blinking PRESS START."
