Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Catch the Candy 3D Remaster**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A vibrant, "Toon-Shaded" or "Cel-Shaded" 3D aesthetic to mimic the original 2D Flash vector art. The world should look colorful and cartoonish. * **Character (The Furball):** A purple, spherical character. Instead of complex fur simulation (which is heavy for mobile), use a **Low-Poly sphere** with a custom shader or simple geometry spikes to suggest fuzziness. It must have two large, expressive eyes that track the target (the candy). * **The Arm:** A dynamic, stretchable cylinder or tube mesh that extends from the character. It should visually deform (stretch/squash) when the player uses the grappling mechanic. * **The Goal (Candy):** A glossy, red-and-white swirling peppermint candy. It should float and rotate slowly on its local axis, emitting a subtle particle glow to attract attention. * **Environment:** * **Background:** A static or slowly rotating 2D plane/skybox behind the scene featuring the iconic "Green Sunburst" pattern (light green and dark green rays). * **Obstacles:** Wooden crates, stone blocks, and floating platforms. These must have clearly defined edges for the player to understand what is grapple-able. * **Performance Optimization:** Use simple BoxGeometries for environment physics. Limit real-time shadows to the main character only. Use a single directional light source. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A whimsical, upbeat, and loopable track featuring pizzicato strings, light percussion, or a "circus-style" playful synth melody. It should feel "sweet" and mischievous. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * **Shoot/Stretch:** A rubbery "Swoosh" or elastic "Boing" sound when the arm is fired. * **Impact:** A satisfying sticky "Thwack" or suction-cup sound when the arm attaches to a surface. * **Win:** A magical chime or "Munch" sound when the character touches the candy. * **Fail:** A sad trombone or "slipping" sound if the character falls off the map. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Physics Engine:** Integrate a physics library (like **Cannon.js** or **Ammo.js**) to handle gravity, collision, and spring constraints. * **Core Mechanic (Grappling):** * The character is affected by gravity. * The player aims to propel the character towards the candy. * **Raycasting:** When input is detected, raycast from the character towards the touch point. If it hits a "grapple-able" object (wood/stone), create a **Spring Constraint** between the character and the hit point. * **Retraction:** While the input is held, the spring constraint tightens, pulling the character physically toward the anchor point. * **Win Condition:** The character's physics collider overlaps with the Candy's trigger volume. * **Level Progression:** Start with the character on the ground and the candy on a high platform. Success triggers a "Level Complete" UI overlay. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation:** **Landscape** mode (preferred for puzzle platforming visibility). * **Touch Mechanics:** * **Single Touch & Hold:** The primary interaction. * *On Touch Start:* Fire the arm towards the touch coordinates (Raycast). * *On Hold:* Retract the rope (pull the character). * *On Release:* Detach the rope immediately (allow momentum to fling the character). * **Visual Feedback:** * When the player touches the screen, show a small "target reticle" or marker at the touch point. * If the grapple hits a surface, generate a small "sparks" or "dust" particle effect at the impact point to confirm connection. * **UI Layout:** * **Restart Button:** A large (min 48x48px) refresh icon in the top-right corner for quick retries (essential for physics games). * **Level Indicator:** Simple text in the top-left. * Ensure no UI elements obstruct the central gameplay area. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

  • Hold Left Mouse Button : Extend and use your rope to grab onto surfaces
  • Release Mouse Button : Retract the rope or let go of attached surfaces
  • Mouse Movement : Aim your rope in different directions

Strategic Tips

Mastering the rope mechanics requires understanding momentum and timing. Use the physics to your advantage by building up swing momentum to reach distant platforms or candy. Experiment with different attachment points to find the most efficient paths through each level.

Level Progression

Complete each level by collecting all available candy. Some levels may have multiple solutions, encouraging creative thinking and replay value. Advanced levels introduce more complex layouts and require precise timing and rope control.
