    builder built v1

    • Built from the starter's dodge loop, flipped into a vertical climb: rocket steers left/right near the bottom of the screen while kites and diyas fall past it.
    • Scoring: +1/sec survived (altitude via a scoreTimer accumulator) and +10 per diya grabbed, each with its own twinkle burst + chime beep.
    • Kites end the run on contact (firework burst, screen shake, crackle-pop beep); a near-miss pops a "close!" text for feel.
