Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Dino Run: Voxel Extinction**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Modernize the original pixel art into a **Voxel/3D Pixel Art style** (similar to Crossy Road). The world should be rendered in a 2.5D side-scrolling perspective. * **Characters:** * **Player:** A bright yellow, blocky Voxel Velociraptor. Animations needed: Run (fast leg cycle), Jump, Duck (flatten height), and Dash (motion blur trail). * **Critters:** Small lizards/birds (low-poly voxels) scattered on the ground to be stomped/eaten. * **Environment:** * **Ground:** Uneven terrain generation (hills, pits/gaps) using bright green colors. * **Background:** Multiple layers of parallax scrolling (distant volcanoes, jungle silhouettes). * **The Doom:** A massive, dark "Wall of Doom" (pyroclastic cloud/fog shader) approaching from the left side of the screen. * **Hazards:** Falling meteorites (simple geometric spheres with fire particle trails) that create impact craters/screen shake. * **Performance:** Use instanced mesh rendering for the ground blocks and collectibles to maintain 60FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** Fast-paced 8-bit Chiptune/Synth-wave track. The tempo should slightly increase as the "Doom Wall" gets closer to the player. * **SFX:** * **Jump:** A classic retro "boing" or rising synth pitch. * **Collect:** A high-pitched "ding" for collecting eggs/DNA. * **Stomp/Eat:** A satisfying "crunch" sound when hitting critters. * **Meteor Impact:** Low-frequency rumble/explosion. * **Dash:** A "whoosh" sound effect when the speed boost is activated. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The player automatically runs to the right. The camera moves at a fixed speed, but the "Doom Wall" slowly accelerates. The player must maintain speed to stay ahead of the wall and inside the camera view. * **Controls Impact:** Hitting obstacles (rocks, pits) slows the dino down (bringing the Doom Wall closer). Collecting "Super Eggs" or eating critters slightly boosts speed/distance. * **Sparking Feet:** When the player builds up enough momentum without hitting obstacles, the dino's feet should emit spark particles. This indicates a "Dash" is available. * **Victory/Failure:** * **Win:** Reach the "Sanctuary" (finish line) before the Doom Wall covers the screen. * **Loss:** Get caught by the Doom Wall or fall into a bottomless pit. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Landscape Mode** (essential for seeing the path ahead). * **Gesture Controls (Touch Priority):** * **Swipe Up:** Jump (Short swipe = hop, Long swipe = high jump). * **Swipe Down:** Duck/Slide (to go under low hanging rocks or pterodactyls). * **Swipe Right:** Activate "Dash" (only available when feet are sparking). * **Hold Right side of screen:** Sprint (move faster to the right edge of the camera view). * **Hold Left side of screen:** Brake (move to the left edge, risky but useful for precise platforming). * **UI/UX:** * Minimalist HUD: A progress bar at the top showing Player Icon vs. Doom Icon vs. Finish Line. * Score/DNA counter in the top-right corner. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger vibration on Meteor impacts and when stomping critters. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
