Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Stickman Climb!". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adopt a "2.5D Sticker Art" aesthetic. Objects should appear flat but have depth via lighting. Use **Toon Shading** (Cell Shading) with thick black outlines to mimic the screenshot's vector art style. * **Color Palette**: Bright and high-contrast. Background should be a vertical gradient (Light Cyan `#00FFFF` to Darker Teal). The Player (Pot) is Dark Grey, the Pickaxe has a Blue handle and Grey head. Platforms are Pink/Red with White outlines. * **Player Model**: A composite object consisting of a "Pot" (half-sphere geometry), a "Stickman Head" (sphere floating above the pot), and a "Pickaxe" (pivot point at the pot's center). * **Motion Blur**: Implement a trail effect (ribbon trail) behind the pickaxe head when it moves at high velocity to convey momentum, as seen in the reference image. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use low-poly geometries (Cylinders and Boxes). Reuse geometries via InstancedMesh for level platforms. Target 60 FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An upbeat, quirky, and slightly repetitive looping track (similar to "sneaky" cartoon music) that encourages trying again. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Swing**: A "Whoosh" air-cutting sound when the axe rotates. * **Impact**: A solid "Clank" or "Thud" when the pickaxe hits a surface (volume based on impact velocity). * **Jump/Launch**: A grunt or "Hup!" voice sound when the player launches into the air. * **Death**: A comical "slip" sound or glass breaking when hitting spikes. * **Win**: A short fanfare or confetti pop sound upon touching the flag. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Physics Engine Integration**: Use **Matter.js** (or a constrained 3D physics engine like Cannon.js restricted to the XY plane) to handle the specific "pivot and lever" physics. * **Core Mechanic**: The player cannot move the pot directly. They can only rotate the pickaxe. * When the pickaxe hits the ground, the torque pushes the pot upwards or forwards (Leverage). * Physics must simulate friction; the pickaxe needs "grip" to pull the player over obstacles. * **Level Design**: A horizontal obstacle course containing: * **Safe Platforms**: Static blocks. * **Spikes**: Red triangular zones. Touching these instantly respawns the player at the last checkpoint. * **Checkpoints**: Green flags that turn yellow when passed. * **Goal**: A checkered racing flag at the end. * **Victory Condition**: Touching the goal triggers a particle explosion and a "Level Complete" UI overlay. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Input Scheme (Split Screen Touch)**: * **Rotate Counter-Clockwise**: Tap/Hold the **Left 50%** of the screen. * **Rotate Clockwise**: Tap/Hold the **Right 50%** of the screen. * *Note*: Ensure the rotation adds torque, allowing for momentum swings (not just setting position). * **Camera Behavior**: An Orthographic Camera that smoothly follows the player's position (with a slight delay/lerp for smoothness). Keep the player centered horizontally but allow vertical looking ahead. * **Orientation**: Landscape mode is preferred for wider visibility of the course, but the UI must be responsive. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the pickaxe strikes the ground or when the player dies. * **UI/UX**: * Restart Button (Top Right, minimum 44x44px touch target). * All UI buttons should have a "pressed" animation state. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Stickman Climb! is a thrilling physics-based platformer that puts your climbing skills to the ultimate test. In this challenging adventure, you control a determined stickman equipped with nothing but a pickaxe and an unbreakable will to reach the top. The game features mechanics similar to the beloved "Getting Over It" formula, where precision, patience, and physics mastery are your keys to success.

Your mission is simple yet incredibly challenging: guide your stickman from a starting box to the victory flag at each level's end. What makes this journey extraordinary is the realistic physics engine that governs every movement, making each climb a unique puzzle requiring both skill and strategy.

Core Features

Realistic Physics-Based Gameplay

Every swing of your pickaxe follows realistic physics laws. Momentum, gravity, and balance all play crucial roles in your success. Master these elements to perform spectacular climbs and overcome seemingly impossible obstacles.

Challenging Level Design

Each level presents unique challenges with: - Deadly spikes that reset your progress if touched - Strategic checkpoints to save your advancement - Varied terrain requiring different climbing techniques - Progressive difficulty that tests your improving skills

Intuitive Yet Deep Controls

While the controls are simple - just left and right arrow keys - mastering the movement requires practice and precision. Your pickaxe becomes an extension of yourself as you learn to swing, hook, and balance your way to victory.

Endless Replayability

Each attempt feels fresh thanks to the physics-based nature of the gameplay. Even familiar sections can surprise you, keeping the experience engaging and challenging.

Gameplay Mechanics

The Art of Pickaxe Climbing

Your trusty pickaxe isn't just a tool - it's your lifeline. Use it to: - Hook onto surfaces and swing across gaps - Maintain balance on narrow ledges - Generate momentum for long jumps - Navigate around dangerous obstacles

Strategic Checkpoint System

Checkpoints are strategically placed throughout levels to prevent excessive backtracking. However, they're not handed out freely - you'll need to earn each one through skillful navigation and careful planning.

Physics Mastery

Success in Stickman Climb! requires understanding and utilizing physics principles: - Momentum conservation : Build up speed for difficult sections - Angular momentum : Control your rotation for precise landings - Center of gravity : Maintain balance in precarious positions

Operation Guide

Basic Controls

  • Left Arrow Key : Move and swing left
  • Right Arrow Key : Move and swing right
  • Hold and Release : Build momentum by holding keys and releasing at the right moment

Pro Tips for Success
