push black pawn up two and keep pushing
Bruh you can't do that. Black is facing the other way, so the black pawn can only move to b1
I would guess promote to queen, then white has to play king move, and go from there.

You would guess wrong.
Darn!
king to e8

White plays Kg7 or Kg8 and it's a draw.
Black has to avoid a silly stalemate trick- 1...b1=Q? 2.e8=Q+ Kxe8 3.f7+ etc.
So 1...b1=R 2.Kg7 Rb8 3.Kf7 Ra8 4.Kg7 Ke6 and Black wins easily.

I would move the king to e6 to stop my opponent from pushing pawns. From there it may be possible to secure a win if you can promote the b2 pawn.
…Ke6 loses as white just queens with check. Unless you mean …Ke8 which only draws. Anyway, someone already posted the answer.

I bet that he imagines the board upside down, black going upwards.
