How to Play
Drop-Drop is a platformer in which the player controls a character who must reach the bottom of a screen by avoiding obstacles and enemies. The character can move left and right, jump, and climb ladders. The player must navigate through a number of different levels, each with its own unique challenges.
The goal of each level is to reach the bottom of the screen. The character will automatically move forward, and the player must use the left and right arrow keys to avoid obstacles and enemies. Some levels also include ladders, which the player can climb by using the up arrow key.
If the character touches an enemy or an obstacle, they will lose a life. The player starts with three lives, and can earn more by collecting hearts that are scattered throughout the levels. If the player loses all their lives, they will have to start the level over from the beginning.
There are a total of 30 levels in the game, divided into three worlds. The first world is relatively easy, and serves as a tutorial for the game mechanics. The second and third worlds are progressively more difficult, with the third world being the most challenging.
