Mission: Walking on Mars

Hello Space Explorers. We have just received a message from Paxi:

I have just landed safely on the surface of planet Mars. The journey was very dangerous. Codes I received from my friends all over Earth, helped me improve the code of my spaceship and accomplish the first mission.

But time is too precious to be wasted. Mission 2 is going to start right away. Paxi will get out of the spaceship for a historical walk on planet Mars.

However, if the journey to Mars was dangerous, walking on it could be a real challenge! Dust, rocks, cliffs, meteors intruding the atmosphere, and other obstacles mean Paxi may be facing a hostile environment. Also, keep in mind that atmosphere and gravity are different from Earth.

Develop a game to help Paxi walk safely on the surface of planet Mars.
