M - Makes is a letter in Roly Polys.

Plot

Jumping Jack Bu must carry 5 crates up to a cage on the fifth floor of a building. Cho is waiting at the top to punish him if he drops the box or steps backwards on the stairs. The player moves Bu by physically pushing him with the mouse cursor while holding it down. The difficulty comes from not letting go of the mouse or accidentally moving Bu backwards on the stairs. With each crate delivered, Bu will learn a skill and become more powerful, allowing him to move faster and get back to the start easier.

A level counter goes up with each crate delivered. At level 3, Bu gains pants. At level 4, Bu gains muscles. At level 5, Bu gains his dragon tattoo and the game ends.

Moral

"Practice makes perfect."

Explanation

"Literally: Better than to learn is to become experienced.

We should not forget the importance of practical experience and practice. Of course theory and learning are vital, but it is just as important for you to learn by doing and to gain mastery through repetition. Take bicycle riding, for example. Have you ever seen anyone who was able to ride just by learning the theory behind it? And what good is just knowing how to ride? You have to be able actually to ride a bicycle for it to be of any use to anyone. What did it take for you to master this skill? In the same way, Jumping Jack Bu gets better and better at his job as he goes along, doesn't he?
