MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Space Thing**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** 2.5D Side-Scrolling Platformer. The art style should mimic **flat vector art** with a **Cel-Shaded (Toon) aesthetic**. Use `MeshToonMaterial` for all objects. * **Color Palette:** High saturation and contrast. Use the reference image's vibrant color scheme: Hot Pink (`#FF007F`) for the background/void, Cyan (`#00BFFF`) for the player's helmet, Yellow (`#FFD700`) for visors/energy beams, and White for suits. * **Player Character:** A "Chibi" style astronaut with a large cuboid helmet and a small body. Must have a thick black outline (achieve this via a slightly larger inverted back-face mesh or shader post-processing). * **Environment:** Floating space platforms (geometric shapes with neon edges). The background should be a solid vibrant color or a simple gradient with slowly rotating vector stars to maintain performance. * **Effects:** * **Muzzle Flash:** Concentric colored rings (Orange/Yellow) expanding rapidly when shooting (as seen in the screenshot). * **Recoil:** The character should visually slide back slightly when firing. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** Fast-paced **Chiptune / Synthwave** track. High energy, 140 BPM, evoking a retro arcade feeling. * **SFX:** * **Shooting:** A crunchy, bass-heavy laser pulse sound (not a thin "pew-pew", but a heavy "ZAP"). * **Jumping:** A classic 8-bit rising glissando. * **Impact:** Metallic thud or explosion noise when enemies are hit. * **Shield:** A humming electric sound loop when the shield power-up is active. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The player navigates floating platforms, shooting AI enemies while avoiding falling into the void. * **The "Switch Aim" Mechanic:** Unlike standard shooters, the player's facing direction and shooting direction can be decoupled. The player needs to strategically switch firing direction (Left vs. Right) to deal with enemies spawning on both sides. * **Enemies:** Floating robot drones that follow the player or patrol platforms. * **Power-ups:** * **Shield:** Creates a translucent bubble around the player, absorbing one hit. * **Rapid Fire:** Increases shooting speed temporarily. * **Win/Loss:** The game is an endless high-score run or level-based. Game Over occurs if HP drops to 0 or the player falls off the platform. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Layout:** Landscape orientation is mandatory. * **Left Hand:** A **Virtual Joystick** or large **Left/Right directional buttons** (bottom-left corner) for movement. * **Right Hand:** Three distinct action buttons (bottom-right cluster, minimum 60px diameter for touch targets): * **A Button:** Jump. * **B Button:** Shoot (Hold for auto-fire). * **C Button (Smaller):** "Switch Aim" (Toggles the character's facing direction between Left and Right immediately). * **Feedback:** * Camera Shake: The camera should shake slightly when the heavy weapon is fired. * Damage Indicator: Screen flashes red briefly when the player takes damage. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
