Screenshots

A side-scrolling platformer scene displays a character sprite in red and white standing on a brown brick platform in the center, flanked by green trees and bushes under a bright blue sky with white clouds. The HUD at the bottom shows a black bar with white text reading "HI-2P-", score values "30000" and "700", timer display "5:53", "ROUND 1-2", and a "×2" multiplier indicator. Two additional character sprites appear near the trees on either side of the stage.
