💡 What: Added explicit visual instructions ("Press Space or Up Arrow to jump!") to the Mario game canvas. Added an entry to the UX journal noting this finding.
🎯 Why: When users encounter custom HTML5 games/widgets with mapped keyboard events, the controls are not inherently discoverable. Providing a clear visual cue reduces friction and improves playability.
📸 Before/After: See frontend verification for screenshot. The
#instructionsoverlay usespointer-events: noneto avoid interfering with game interactions.♿ Accessibility: Provides immediate visual clarity on how to interact with the game instance.
