Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Looper: The Infinite Industrial Run**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: 2.5D Platformer using a **Voxel/Low-Poly** aesthetic to mimic the original pixel art style while remaining performant on mobile web. * **Camera**: Use an **Orthographic Camera** fixed to a side-scrolling view to ensure precision platforming. * **Character**: A cute, blocky **orange robot** (constructed from simple BoxGeometries). It should have a subtle bobbing animation when idle and a rotation animation when jumping. * **Environment**: * **Platforms**: Industrial "Blue Steel" girders with rivet textures. * **Background**: A flat, tiled "Yellow Circuitry/Padded Wall" pattern (low resolution texture) to match the original game's iconic look. * **Hazards**: * **Saw Blades**: Rotating silver discs with jagged edges. * **Spikes**: Triangular prisms emerging from the ground. * **Acid**: A translucent green plane at the bottom of the screen with a bubbling particle effect. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use `InstancedMesh` for repeated environment blocks. Limit dynamic lights to 1 (directional) and use baked ambient lighting to maintain high FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A fast-paced, frantic **8-bit Chiptune/Industrial** track that loops seamlessly. It should sound mechanical and urgent. * **Sound Effects (Synthesized)**: * **Jump**: A short, rising square-wave "bloop". * **Landing**: A metallic "clink" or white noise burst. * **Lap Complete**: A high-pitched "power-up" jingle. * **Death**: A low-frequency "down-sampling" or explosion sound. * **Hazard Ambience**: Constant low hum for saw blades. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanism**: The level is a single closed circuit (or a screen that wraps: exiting right teleports player to left). * **Objective**: The player must complete "Laps". One lap equals running from the start point, through the obstacles, back to the start. * **Escalating Difficulty**: * **Lap 0**: Simple platforming, no hazards. * **Lap 1+**: Every time a lap is completed, a **new hazard spawns** procedurally in the arena (e.g., a new saw blade appears on a platform, or a floor section vanishes revealing acid). * **Win/Loss**: There is no winning, only a high score (Number of Laps). The game ends immediately upon touching any hazard (Spike, Saw, Acid), showing a "Game Over" UI with a restart button. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** forced (resize listener to handle rotation). * **Touch Controls**: * **Left Screen Area**: Invisible or semi-transparent Touch Zone for horizontal movement (Touch & Drag or Virtual D-Pad). * **Right Screen Area**: Large invisible Touch Zone for **Jumping**. * **UI/UX**: * **Lap Counter**: Displayed prominently in the top center (e.g., "LAPS: 5"). * **Buttons**: A large, high-contrast "RESTART" button (min-height 60px) that appears only on Game Over. * **Feedback**: * **Screen Shake**: Slight camera shake when dying or completing a lap. * **Visual Cues**: The robot flashes white briefly when a lap is finished. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Looper is a challenging action-platformer game that puts you in control of a determined robot with one simple mission: complete laps around a treacherous arena. What starts as a straightforward task quickly becomes a fight for survival as each completed lap introduces new and more dangerous obstacles.

This pixel-art arcade game combines precise platforming mechanics with escalating difficulty, creating an addictive gameplay loop that will test your reflexes and persistence. The retro-style graphics and smooth animations bring the robotic protagonist to life as it faces increasingly impossible odds.

Core Features

Progressive Difficulty System

The game's unique mechanic ensures that no two laps are the same.

Gameplay Mechanics

The core gameplay revolves around navigating your robot character through a circular arena course. What makes Looper unique is its escalating danger system - the arena becomes more treacherous with each successful lap completion.

Players must master: - Precise jumping to avoid ground-based hazards - Timing-based movement to navigate between moving obstacles - Pattern recognition to predict where new dangers will appear - Risk assessment to choose the safest path through multiple threats

Operation Guide

Looper uses intuitive keyboard controls: - Left/Right Arrow Keys : Move your robot left and right - X Key : Jump over obstacles and gaps

The controls are deliberately simple to ensure the challenge comes from the level design and obstacle placement, not complex input requirements. This makes the game accessible to players of all skill levels while maintaining its hardcore appeal.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Study each lap before moving - new obstacles follow predictable patterns
  • Use short, controlled movements rather than rushing
  • Time your jumps carefully around moving saw blades
  • Look for safe spots where you can pause and plan your next move
