# 8-bit Platformer Level: motion graphics style

> A tiny pixel hero runs into a side-scrolling level and head-bumps a row of prize blocks; each bump pops a letter of the word into the sky. Built on 8-bit console conventions for game launches, retro promos and playful intros.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Create an 8-bit side-scrolling platformer scene that spells [TEXT]. Use a low-resolution picture (about 240×150 pixels) upscaled with crisp square pixels and a flat, bright palette: sky blue, grass-topped dirt ground, light-green rounded hills, white puffy clouds, all with dark 1-pixel outlines. The level scrolls in with parallax (clouds slowest, hills, then ground) while a small original pixel hero with a two-frame run cycle enters. Under a row of golden prize blocks, one per letter, the hero hops along; each head-bump makes the block jolt and turn brown while the letter shoots up with a little overshoot and a "+100", building [TEXT] in a chunky bitmap font with a yellow-to-orange fill and dark outline. A score and timer HUD ticks at the top. Hold, then an iris wipe closes on the hero and the loop restarts.
```

## Visual DNA

- Low-resolution pixel art upscaled with crisp hard-edged pixels
- Bright flat chiptune-era palette: sky blue, grass green, gold blocks
- Parallax layers of clouds, rounded hills and bushes
- Two-frame run cycle and parabolic hops with block bounce
- Score, coin and timer HUD in a blocky bitmap font
- Iris-wipe level transition closing on the hero
