Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Calamari: Voxel Arcade Survival**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: 2.5D Voxel Art / Low-Poly style (inspired by Crossy Road but side-scrolling). Mimic the "Nitrome" pixel-art aesthetic using 3D cubes. * **Player Character**: A cute, red, cube-shaped squid-like creature with large, expressive yellow eyes and a green mouth. It should have a slight "squash and stretch" animation effect when jumping. * **Environment**: A dark, industrial "dungeon" setting. The background should be dark purple/navy walls. * **Key Objects**: * **Blocks**: Destructible wooden or stone crates that fall from the top of the screen or block the path. They should break into smaller voxel particles when shot. * **Coins**: Gold, spinning voxel coins that emit a soft glow. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for the blocks and coins to ensure 60FPS on mobile devices. Use simple Lambert materials to reduce lighting calculation costs. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A fast-paced, frantic 8-bit chiptune track that loops seamlessly. It should feel retro and arcade-like. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Shoot**: A retro "Pew-Pew" laser sound (synthesized). * **Jump**: A quick, rising frequency slide whistle. * **Block Destroy**: A crunchy "crumble" or explosion sound. * **Coin Collect**: A high-pitched, satisfying double-chime (Ding-Ding!). * **Game Over**: A descending "womp-womp" sound followed by a squash noise. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The player is trapped in a room where blocks constantly spawn or fall. The player must **Shoot** blocks to destroy them and create safe spaces, or **Jump** on top of them to reach higher platforms. * **Objective**: Collect as many coins as possible to increase the score. * **Win/Loss Condition**: * **Game Over**: If the player is "crushed" (a block lands on top of them and they cannot move) or if they get trapped off-screen. * **Victory**: Endless high-score based gameplay (no specific win condition, just survival). * **Enemy/Hazard**: The primary hazard is the physics of the falling blocks themselves. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** (Horizontal) to provide ample space for two-handed control. * **Touch Controls**: * **Left Thumb**: A dynamic Virtual Joystick or D-Pad for Left/Right movement. * **Right Thumb**: Two distinct buttons: * **Button A (Red)**: Shoot (fires a projectile horizontally). * **Button B (Green)**: Jump. * **UI Layout**: * Score displayed in large, retro gold font at the top center. * Buttons must have a minimum touch target of 60x60 pixels for accessibility. * **Feedback**: Implement `navigator.vibrate(50)` (Haptic Feedback) whenever the player shoots or destroys a block to give tactile weight to the action. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
