Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Murder: The King & The Assassin**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** 2.5D Side-Scrolling Diorama. The game should look like a "Paper Mario" or "Toon-shaded" world. Use simple geometric primitives (BoxGeometry, CylinderGeometry) but apply bright, flat colors (MeshToonMaterial) to mimic the cartoon style of the screenshot. * **Characters:** * **The King:** A large figure in Red and Gold (Red robe, Gold crown). He walks slowly to the right. * **The Assassin:** A skinny figure in Purple and Black (Purple outfit, sneaky posture). He follows closely behind the King. * **Setting:** A "Castle Hallway" consisting of a scrolling Red Carpet floor and stone pillars in the background. * **Camera:** Fixed side-view camera (OrthographicCamera is preferred for the 2D feel), tracking the pair as they move through the endless hallway. * **Visual Cues:** A "!" bubble or particle effect appearing above the King's head *before* he turns around to warn the player. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A mischievous, "sneaky" soundtrack (Pizzicato strings, light woodwinds) that pauses abruptly when the King turns around. * **SFX:** * *Charging:* A rising tension sound (like a balloon inflating) while the player holds the screen. * *Alert:* A sharp violin screech or "Huh?" sound when the King looks back. * *Success:* A comical "Bonk" or slash sound when the murder is successful. * *Caught:* A jail door slamming shut sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop The game consists of two distinct phases (cyclic): * **Phase 1: The Assassin (Player is the Killer)** * The King walks automatically. The King has a random timer to turn his head back. * **Goal:** Fill a circular "Kill Meter" above the Assassin's head. * **Mechanic:** If the player holds the touch, the Assassin raises his knife and the meter fills. If the King sees the Assassin with the knife raised -> **Game Over (Dungeon)**. * **Win Condition:** If the meter fills completely, the King falls, and the Assassin wears the crown (Transition to Phase 2). * **Phase 2: The Paranoia (Player is the King)** * The Player character is now the King. An AI-controlled Assassin follows behind. * **Mechanic:** The AI Assassin will try to kill the player. The player must detect when the AI is raising the knife. * **Action:** Tap the screen to look back. If you catch the AI mid-attack, the AI is sent to the dungeon. If you look back when the AI is innocent, you lose "Sanity" (optional) or stumble. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme:** Single-finger interaction (One-Touch Gameplay). * **Phase 1:** **Touch & Hold** to lift knife/charge attack. **Release** to hide knife/act innocent. * **Phase 2:** **Tap** to look behind. * **Orientation:** Landscape mode is preferred for the side-scrolling view. * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger `navigator.vibrate(200)` if the player gets caught or successfully kills the King. * **UI:** Large, clear "RETRY" button (minimum 44x44px target) centered on screen upon Game Over. * **Responsiveness:** The "Release" action must be instant (no input lag) to allow the player to dodge the King's gaze at the last millisecond. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
