Rich or Poor Obby
Rich or Poor Obby flips the classic obstacle course on its head by letting you pick your own adventure. Each level presents a choice: take the polished, gleaming rich track with its moving platforms and tricky jumps, or stick to the rugged, unpredictable poor path with its rickety bridges and surprise hazards. The twist is that both routes demand skill—riches don't make it easier, just different. As you progress, the courses grow more elaborate, testing your timing, precision, and ability to commit to a decision. The game thrives on replayability. You'll want to explore both branches of every stage to see which one suits your play style, and you'll often find that the 'easy' route is anything but. Whether you're gunning for the golden finish line or just enjoying the chaotic charm of the shabby side, the game keeps you on your toes with responsive controls and level designs that reward patience. It's a lighthearted take on class divides, wrapped in a colorful, fast-paced platforming package that's easy to pick up and hard to put down.

Tips for Playing
- Test both routes early to learn which obstacles you find easier.
- Time your jumps on moving platforms—rushing often leads to a fall.
- Look for visual cues in the background that hint at upcoming hazards.
- Don't be afraid to restart a level if you want to try the other path.
- Keep your momentum steady; quick stops can throw off your rhythm.
