Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Jumping Clones". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Minimalist geometric style (Robert Alvarez signature style). The game should be viewed from an orthographic side-scrolling perspective (2.5D). The background should be a deep, dark blue/purple void (`#0f0f1a`) to make the foreground pop. * **Characters**: * Create two distinct playable cubes: One **White Cube** and one **Red Cube**. Both should have a simple, single "eye" (a black circle) in the center to give them directionality and personality. * **Material**: Use `MeshLambertMaterial` with slight bevels on the cube geometry for better lighting interaction. * **Environment**: * **Platforms**: Solid, warm-toned blocks (mustard yellow/orange like `#D4A017`) with a thin lighter outline to distinguish edges clearly on small screens. * **Hazards**: Sharp, triangular white spikes placed in pits or on walls. * **Goal**: A checkered flag or a glowing portal zone (green particle emitter) that *both* characters must reach. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use low-poly geometries (BoxGeometry, CylinderGeometry for spikes). Avoid heavy post-processing. Use simple `DirectionalLight` and `AmbientLight` to ensure high frame rates on mobile browsers. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A thinking-oriented, downtempo synth track. It should be rhythmic but not aggressive—something like a "lo-fi chip-tune" loop that aids concentration. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Jump**: A short, crisp "bloop" or retro ascending synth sound. * **Land**: A soft, low-frequency thud. * **Death**: A pixelated "crunch" or disintegration noise when hitting spikes. * **Level Clear**: A satisfying major chord jingle (positive feedback). ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The player controls **both** the White Cube and the Red Cube simultaneously with the same input. * Pressing "Right" moves *both* cubes right. * Pressing "Jump" makes *both* cubes jump. * **The Puzzle**: The level design intentionally separates the cubes. The player must use walls to block one cube while moving the other to align them, or time jumps so one lands on a platform while the other clears a gap. * **Failure State**: If *either* cube touches a spike or falls off the map, the level resets instantly. * **Win State**: The level is complete only when **both** cubes are standing safely inside the goal zone simultaneously. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: Landscape mode is preferred for platformers, but the camera should zoom out automatically to fit the level width. * **Touch Controls (Virtual)**: * **Left Side of Screen**: Two large, transparent arrow buttons (Left / Right) for horizontal movement. * **Right Side of Screen**: A single large circular button for "Jump". * **Button Feedback**: Buttons should scale down slightly and change opacity when pressed. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the characters land on the ground or die. * **UI Layout**: Keep the UI minimal. A "Restart" button (icon style) in the top-right corner (at least 44x44px hit area) is essential for puzzle games where players might get stuck. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Jumping Clones is a revolutionary puzzle platformer that puts a unique twist on traditional platform gaming. Unlike conventional games where you control a single character, this brain-teasing adventure requires you to master the art of controlling multiple clone characters at the same time. Every move you make affects all your clones simultaneously, creating a complex puzzle that demands careful planning and precise execution.

This innovative game combines the best elements of puzzle games, brain games, and platform games into one challenging experience. Each level presents a new set of obstacles and mechanics that will test your ability to think several moves ahead while coordinating multiple characters through increasingly complex terrain.

Core Features

Revolutionary Multi-Character Control System

The game's standout feature is its simultaneous character control mechanism. When you press a movement key, all your clones move in unison, but they may interact differently with the environment based on their positions. This creates countless strategic possibilities and puzzle combinations.

Brain-Training Puzzle Mechanics

Every level is designed as a mental challenge that improves your: - Strategic thinking - Plan multiple moves ahead - Spatial awareness - Understand how clones interact with terrain - Problem-solving skills - Find creative solutions to complex obstacles - Coordination abilities - Manage multiple moving pieces simultaneously

Progressive Difficulty System

The game features carefully crafted levels that gradually introduce new mechanics and increase complexity. Starting with simple synchronization challenges, you'll progress to advanced puzzles requiring split-second timing and multi-layered strategic thinking.

Unique Terrain Interactions

Different terrain types affect your clones in various ways. Some surfaces may block certain clones while allowing others to pass, creating opportunities for strategic separation and reunion of your character group.

Gameplay Mechanics

Synchronization Challenges

The core gameplay revolves around synchronizing your clones' movements to reach designated goals. You'll need to: - Navigate obstacles that affect clones differently - Use terrain features to separate and regroup clones - Time movements precisely to avoid hazards - Coordinate complex multi-step sequences

Special Mechanics and Obstacles

Each level introduces unique elements such as: - Spike traps that require careful timing to avoid - Moving platforms that change the puzzle dynamics - Switches and triggers that may require specific clone positioning - Teleporters and portals that can separate your clone group

Operation Guide

Basic Controls

The game features intuitive keyboard controls: - Arrow Keys or WASD : Move all clones simultaneously - Spacebar : Jump (all clones jump together) - R Key : Restart current level if you get stuck

Mastering Clone Control

Success requires understanding how simultaneous control works: 1. Observe the level layout before making your first move 2. Identify obstacles that will affect clones differently 3. Plan your route considering all clones' paths simultaneously 4. Execute moves carefully - one wrong step affects all clones 5. Use terrain strategically to achieve desired clone positioning

Advanced Strategies

As you progress, you'll learn advanced techniques: - Using walls and obstacles to separate clones temporarily - Timing jumps to land clones on different platforms - Creating chain reactions where one clone's action enables another's progress
