Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Boost Buddies - Vertical Pixel Arcade". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Recreate the charming **Pixel Art aesthetic** in a 3D space (Voxel style). The world should feel colorful, chunky, and retro. Use a vibrant, high-saturation color palette (bright blues, oranges, pinks). * **Main Character (Voxel)**: Create a cute, cube-shaped white cat character wearing blue sunglasses. The model should be simple (low-poly voxel) to ensure high performance on mobile devices. * **Environment (The Pit)**: The game takes place in a vertical shaft or "pit." The walls should have a pixelated rock texture with parallax scrolling backgrounds (e.g., distant pixel clouds or cavern walls) to emphasize upward movement. * **Obstacles**: * **Lasers**: Glowing red beams that toggle on and off. * **Hammers**: Large grey blocky pistons that smash horizontally. * **Enemies**: Simple floating voxel spikes or wandering block creatures. * **Collectibles**: A floating golden "Crown" at the top of the level, emitting a soft yellow glow and rotating slowly. * **Performance**: Use `BoxGeometry` for almost everything to minimize draw calls. Use a single texture atlas for colors if possible. Implement simple shadow maps (soft shadows) but keep the resolution low for mobile efficiency. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A fast-paced, upbeat **Chiptune / 8-bit track**. It should sound energetic and "bouncy" to match the jumping mechanic. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Jump**: A retro synthesized "whoosh" or "bloop" sound every time the screen is tapped. * **Impact/Death**: A crunchy 8-bit explosion or "dizzy" sound when hitting an obstacle. * **Collect Crown**: A high-pitched, rewarding jingle (like a fanfare). * **Level Clear**: An ascending slide whistle or positive chime. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The character starts at the bottom of a generated "room" (a single screen height). The player must tap to boost/jump upwards. The character has gravity applied constantly. * **Objective**: Reach the Golden Crown located at the top of the screen (or level segment) without touching any hazards. * **Progression**: * **Level Based**: The game is divided into short, intense levels. * **Winning**: Touching the Crown instantly freezes the action, plays a victory animation, and transitions the player to the next, slightly harder level. * **Losing**: Hitting a hammer, laser, or enemy results in immediate failure. The character falls off-screen, and the level restarts instantly. * **Difficulty**: As levels progress, introduce moving platforms, faster lasers, and narrower gaps. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Input Scheme**: **One-Touch Gameplay**. * **Tap anywhere on the screen**: Apply an upward vertical force (Impulse) to the character. The character does not move left or right by player control; they just boost up. (Alternatively, if lateral movement is required by the original design, use "Tap Left to boost Left-Up, Tap Right to boost Right-Up"). *Based on the description "Space bar/tap - Jump", assume purely vertical boosting or auto-lateral movement. Let's stick to: Tap to Boost Upwards, character has slight automatic friction or bounces off walls.* * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode (Vertical)** is essential for this climbing gameplay. * **UI/HUD**: * Keep it minimal. A "Level Counter" at the top left (large pixel font). * A "Restart" button is not needed during play (auto-restart on death), but a "Pause" button should be in the top right (min size 44x44px). * **Feedback**: * **Screen Shake**: Trigger a subtle camera shake when the player dies or collects the crown. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) on death and a lighter vibration on collecting the crown. * **Visual Squash & Stretch**: When the character boosts, stretch the voxel model slightly vertically. When landing or hitting a wall, squash it slightly. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
