Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Droplets: Voxel Descent**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** "Voxelized Retro." Recreate the 2D pixel art style of the screenshot using 3D cubes (Voxels) or simple geometry with pixel-art textures. The world should look like a modern 2.5D interpretation of a classic Nitrome Flash game. * **Color Palette:** High saturation and contrast. Use a bright Cyan background (#00BFFF), Vibrant Orange (#FF4500) for the main character, and Lime Green/Dark Green for environment blocks and obstacles (carrots). * **Character Model (The Droplet):** A simple orange cube-based character with two large, flat rectangular "ears" on top that function as a propeller. * *Animation:* The propeller ears must spin rapidly when the player is hovering/slowing down. The character should have a simple "idle" bobbing animation when on the ground. * **Environment Elements:** * **Obstacles:** Large floating voxel "Carrots" (orange cones with green tops) and static platforms. * **Background:** A scrolling vertical shaft or open sky with parallax voxel clouds to indicate downward movement. * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `InstancedMesh` for repeating voxel blocks to keep draw calls low. Use simple Lambert or Toon materials to ensure high frame rates on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** An upbeat, looped 8-bit chiptune track (fast-paced but happy) that matches the "cute but dangerous" vibe. * **Sound Effects (SFX):** * *Propeller:* A rapid, high-pitched "whirring" sound that loops while the player is holding the screen (hovering). * *Landing:* A soft "thud" or "boing" sound when hitting a safe platform. * *Collision/Fail:* A retro "crunch" or synthesized discord sound when hitting an enemy. * *UI:* High-pitched blips for button presses. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** The game is a **vertical descent Puzzler**. The Droplet falls automatically due to gravity. The goal is to reach the landing pad at the very bottom of the level without hitting obstacles or enemies. * **Propeller Physics:** The character has a "terminal velocity." When the propeller is active (player input), gravity is significantly reduced, allowing for a slow, controlled descent and precise maneuvering around obstacles. * **Obstacles:** * *Static:* Platforms that block the path. * *Dynamic:* Enemies or hazards (like the carrots) that move horizontally or rotate, requiring timing to pass. * **Win/Loss:** * *Win:* Successfully landing on the bottom green zone triggers a "Level Complete" UI and confetti particles. * *Lose:* Hitting a hazard resets the Droplet to the top spawn point immediately. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation:** **Portrait Mode** (Vertical) is mandatory to accommodate the vertical falling gameplay. * **Control Scheme (One-Handed):** * **Touch & Hold:** Activates the Propeller (slows descent/hovers). Releasing the screen lets gravity take over (fast fall). * **Slide/Swipe Left & Right:** Moves the character horizontally. The character should have smooth inertia, not instant movement. * **Camera:** Use an `OrthographicCamera` slightly tilted (isometric angle) to give a clear view of the depth without perspective distortion, maintaining the 2D gameplay feel in a 3D space. The camera must smoothly follow the player's Y-axis descent. * **Haptic Feedback:** Trigger a short vibration (`navigator.vibrate(50)`) when the player hits an obstacle or lands successfully. * **UI:** Large, thumb-friendly "Start" and "Restart" buttons (minimum 60px height) centered on the screen. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
