The game allows the player to jump on top of the crates and to jump on top of the bar building plus the platforms on the other two buildings. See the gif for example. The problem I think is conveying to the player that these are actually platforms and not just background art.

How can I make these stand out to tell the player they can walk/jump there?

The glass of the windows is looking cool
In my opinion, the trees could be a little bit more detailed, just like the christmas tree.

The buildings look too blank. They could use some texture, detalis, dirt or lighting

Hi!  Thanks for sharing this art on your game project!  Instead of pointing out artistic improvements such as others have in details, I would suggest looking into parallax scrolling for your game.  You can then separate layers such as the mountains in the background and add depth to your platform game with the background scrolling at a slower rate than the foreground.

I was thinking the same thing

That looks much better, nice work!

I saw it in other thread and decided to chime in:
Its generally a good idea to make collision surfaces immediately readable. You should know what surface is solid and jumpabable on a first glance.
Here i marked surfaces that are definitely platforms(red), questionable surfaces(purple) and columns that may read as blocks(blue)

I made a quick edit, grounf probably should be darker, but here it is

Hi and good luck with the game. The game looks neat, so far.
In addition to surface contrast,  a quick trick that might help you enhance the crates and platforms  is to visually separate front objects from background (create the illusion of perspective, thus volume). The illusion of shades casted by objects on the ground or downward and a little contrast between foreground background might suffice.This will give you the freedom to add other platform assets.
