Milestones

It runs, and the player does something with buttons, tilt or shake.
It keeps a score and shows it at the end.
It gets harder or ends, checked with if.
Someone else played it and I changed one thing because of what they did.

Make it yours

Levels from a list, as in Fake-outs and levels.
A two-player version over radio.
A high score that the micro:bit remembers until it is switched off.
