Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Squid Dash". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** Vibrant, cartoonish "Toy Story" aesthetic. High saturation colors. The world should look "wet" and glossy. * **Main Character (The Squid):** A low-poly, orange squid modeled with a capsule-like body and trailing tentacles. Use `MeshPhysicalMaterial` with high clearcoat and low roughness to simulate a slimy, wet skin texture. Add a simple vertex shader wobble effect to make the squid look squishy when idle. * **Environment (The City):** A side-scrolling, procedurally generated urban obstacle course. * **Foreground:** Rooftops, pipes, and ventilation ducts acting as platforms. Surfaces should have "puddles" (reflective planes) to imply a wet path. * **Background:** A parallax scrolling skyline of city buildings in cool blues and purples to contrast with the orange squid. * **Visual Effects:** * **Ink Blast:** When the player shoots, emit a burst of dark purple/black spherical particles (using `Three.Points`) from the back of the squid. * **Trail:** A ribbon trail renderer behind the squid to emphasize speed. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use baked lighting for the city geometry. Limit particle count on mobile devices. Use object pooling for platforms and ink particles. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** Upbeat, fast-paced "Electro-Funk" or "Surf Rock" track with a heavy bassline to encourage momentum. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Charging:** A rising "bubble" sound pitch as the player holds to aim. * **Shooting:** A distinct *Splat* or *Squelch* sound. * **Collision:** A wet *Thud* when hitting walls or floors. * **UI:** Pop sounds for buttons; a cheering sound for new distance records. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The game is an "infinite runner" physics platformer based on recoil propulsion. * The squid is affected by gravity. * **Action:** The player propels the squid by shooting ink in the *opposite* direction of travel (Newton's 3rd Law). * **Physics:** Use a physics engine (like Cannon.js) or custom vector physics. The squid should have high restitution (bounciness) but high friction (stickiness) when sliding on flat surfaces. * **Objective:** Travel as far right as possible (Distance Score). * **Win/Loss:** * **Game Over:** If the squid falls below the city skyline (bottom of screen) or comes to a complete stop for more than 3 seconds (momentum loss). * **Progression:** Collect floating "Shrimp" tokens during the run to unlock visual skins or upgrade "Ink Tank Capacity" (allowing more blasts before needing to land). ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** **Landscape** (preferred for runners) to allow the player to see upcoming obstacles. * **Control Scheme (Slingshot Mechanic):** * **Touch & Hold:** The game enters "Slow Motion" (Time scale = 0.2). An arrow visualizer appears showing the aim direction and power. * **Drag:** Dragging anywhere on the screen rotates the aim arrow. * **Release:** The game resumes normal speed, and the squid blasts ink, launching itself in the direction of the arrow. * **UI Layout:** * Top Left: Distance Score (Large, bold font). * Top Right: Pause Button (min 44x44px touch area). * The entire screen is the active touch zone for aiming to prevent thumb slipping. * **Feedback:** * **Haptic:** Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) exactly when the ink is shot and when the squid impacts a surface. * **Camera:** Implement a "Camera Shake" effect on high-speed impacts. The camera should smoothly track the squid with a slight look-ahead offset on the X-axis. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
