🎨 Palette: Mario Game UX enhancements

This PR adds two small micro-UX improvements to the Mario Game:

  1. Instructional Overlay: Added a small, unobtrusive instruction panel in the top right to clarify the game controls ("Press Space or Up Arrow to jump").
  2. Accessible Score: Added aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" to the score element so that screen readers announce the score as it updates.

…rio Game

💡 What:
- Added a visual overlay with instructions: "Press Space or Up Arrow to jump"
- Added `aria-live="polite"` and `aria-atomic="true"` to the score counter.

🎯 Why:
- New players might not immediately guess the controls for the Mario Game, causing frustration.
- Screen readers previously did not announce the score changes dynamically.

♿ Accessibility:
- The score updates are now gracefully announced by screen readers without being overly intrusive (using `polite`).
