Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Scary Maze (Mobile Remake)**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: strictly **Retro/Minimalist 2.5D**. Use an OrthographicCamera looking top-down to simulate the classic 2D Flash game look but with WebGL performance. * **Color Palette**: * **Background**: Pure Black (#000000) representing the "walls" (danger zone). * **Maze Path**: Bright Neon Cyan (#00FFFF) or Teal. Add a slight `Emissive` material property to make it glow like a retro monitor. * **Goal Area**: Bright Red (#FF0000) rectangle at the end of the path. * **Player Avatar**: A small white or yellow square (`BoxGeometry`). * **The "Scare" Asset**: Create a hidden HTML `<div>` overlay containing a frightening image (e.g., a placeholder URL for a "scary face" or "exorcist face") that is `display: none` by default. This will cover the entire screen when triggered. * **Optimization**: Use a single merged geometry for the maze walls if possible to reduce draw calls, or simple `PlaneGeometry` for the path. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music)**: **Deceptive Silence**. There should be NO music or extremely faint, low-frequency static hum to encourage the player to turn their device volume UP. * **SFX (Sound Effects)**: * **Wall Hit**: A harsh, retro "electric buzz" or static noise when the player touches the black area. * **Level Clear**: A subtle, satisfying "ding" or generic 8-bit success sound. * **The Jump Scare**: A high-decibel, piercing **SCREAM** audio file. This is the most critical asset. It must trigger instantly upon the specific fail-state or completion of Level 3. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Level Progression**: The game consists of 3 levels. * **Level 1**: Wide paths, easy to navigate. * **Level 2**: Paths get narrower, more turns. * **Level 3**: Extremely narrow, winding path. * **Core Mechanic**: The player moves the avatar. The avatar must stay strictly within the Cyan Path. * **Collision Logic**: * If the Avatar's bounding box exits the Cyan Path (touches Black): Reset the avatar to the "Start" position of the current level instantly. * If the Avatar touches the Red Zone: Load the next level. * **The Twist (The Scare)**: On **Level 3**, just before the player reaches the Red Goal (or if they traverse 90% of the path), strictly override the game loop: 1. Instantaneously display the "Scare Image" overlay (full screen). 2. Play the "Scream" audio at max volume. 3. Vibrate the device heavily. 4. Freeze the game (Game Over). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: Force **Landscape Mode** logic (if the user is in portrait, show a "Please Rotate Device" prompt). The maze is wide. * **Control Scheme**: **Relative Touch Drag** (Offset Mode). * Since the player's finger covers the screen, the Avatar should NOT be directly under the finger. * **Offset Logic**: The Avatar follows the finger's movement but stays roughly 50-100 pixels *above* the touch point (Y-axis offset) so the player has full visibility of the maze ahead. * **Sensitivity**: 1:1 movement. If the finger moves 10px, the avatar moves 10px. * **Haptic Feedback**: * Short vibration (100ms) on wall collision. * Long, pulsed vibration (1000ms+) during the Jump Scare. * **UI Layout**: Minimalist. "Level X" text in simple white sans-serif font floating in the black void, non-intrusive. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
