MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Burger Time 3D". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Low-poly Voxel Art or "Toon-shaded" 3D style. High contrast colors to replicate the classic arcade feel. * **Camera:** Fixed Orthographic camera, slightly angled (isometric view) or direct front view, optimized for **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) to display the full height of the level. * **Level Design:** A dark background (black or deep blue). A grid-based maze consisting of blue platforms and white ladders. * **Character Models:** * **Player:** A cute, blocky Chef character with a tall white hat (Toque) and white apron. * **Enemies:** "Mr. Hot Dog" (red cylinder with legs), "Mr. Egg" (white/yellow sphere with legs), and "Mr. Pickle" (green slice with legs). * **Burger Components:** Giant, thick 3D models for Top Bun, Lettuce, Tomato, Patty, and Bottom Bun. They act as the floor until stepped on. * **Performance:** Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for repeating environmental blocks (ladders/floors) to maintain 60fps on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** Fast-paced, looping 8-bit Chiptune track (retro arcade style) that speeds up slightly as the level progresses. * **SFX:** * **Walk:** Quick, high-pitched footsteps (`tick-tick-tick`). * **Ingredient Drop:** A heavy `thud` or comical `boing` sound when a burger part falls. * **Crush:** A satisfying `splat` sound if an enemy is crushed by a falling burger. * **Pepper Spray:** A `hiss` or `sneeze` sound for the stun attack. * **Win/Loss:** Classic arcade jingles. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The player moves across burger ingredients located on different platforms. When the player walks across the entire width of an ingredient, it falls one level down. * **Chain Reaction:** If an ingredient falls onto another ingredient, the one below acts as a domino and falls further. * **Objective:** Move all ingredients to the bottom-most plates to assemble complete burgers. * **Enemies:** Enemies spawn from the sides and chase the player using simple pathfinding (Manhattan distance). * **Combat:** The player has a limited "Pepper Spray" ability (visualized as a particle cloud) that stuns enemies for 5 seconds. * **Defeat:** Contact with an unstunned enemy results in Game Over. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is mandatory to fit the vertical platforming layout. * **Control Scheme:** * **Bottom Left:** A semi-transparent **Virtual D-Pad** (Up, Down, Left, Right) for grid-based movement. Movement must snap to the grid (no diagonal sliding). * **Bottom Right:** A large circular **Action Button** with a "Pepper" icon for the stun attack. * **UI Layout:** * **Top Bar:** Score (left), High Score (center), Remaining Peppers (right). * **Start Screen:** A large "Play" button centered on the screen. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger a short vibration (if supported by the browser API) when a burger part drops or the player gets caught. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

The core objective is deceptively simple: build burgers by running over ingredients (buns, lettuce, tomatoes, and patties) while avoiding the hostile food enemies.
