How to play Pitfall
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.

Why it is worth playing
The reason Pitfall holds up is restraint: it takes one idea and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
