💡 What

Added a visible keyboard control hint ("Press Space or ↑ to jump") to the Mario game UI and enhanced the score display with aria-live attributes.

🎯 Why

New users often don't know the controls for web-based minigames, leading to immediate failure and frustration. The added hint makes the game instantly intuitive. Additionally, the dynamic score was previously invisible to screen readers.

📸 Before/After

(See Playwright verification screenshots in the PR discussion)

  • Before: Blank UI, users have to guess the jump key.
  • After: Clear, semi-transparent overlay in the top right corner indicating controls.

♿ Accessibility

Added aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" to the #score element so that screen readers will announce score updates as the player progresses, providing a better experience for non-visual users.
