Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Merge Zoo**". This is a "Suika Game" (Watermelon Game) style physics puzzle where players merge animals. Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Cute, vibrant, and soft 3D cartoon style. Use rounded, low-poly geometries to simulate a "soft plastic" or clay toy look. * **Animal Models (The "Balls")**: Create a hierarchy of spherical animal avatars representing different sizes/scores (e.g., Smallest = Chick -> Rabbit -> Pig -> Panda -> ... -> Largest = Elephant). * *Chick*: Yellow sphere with a small orange beak. * *Elephant*: Large grey sphere with ears and a trunk. * *General*: All animals should have large, expressive eyes (white sclera, dark pupil) to look adorable. * **Environment**: A simple, contained U-shaped "bucket" or glass jar open at the top. The background should be a static, cheerful zoo scene (green grass, blue sky with stylized rays or clouds) or a solid pastel gradient to keep performance high. * **Performance**: Use simple geometries (SphereGeometry, BoxGeometry) with standard materials (MeshStandardMaterial). Minimize draw calls by reusing geometries. Shadows should be soft but not computationally expensive (use a directional light + ambient light setup). ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A lighthearted, bouncy, and looping "polka" or "marimba" style track. It should feel relaxing but playful. * **SFX**: * *Shoot*: A soft "pop" or spring sound when releasing an animal. * *Collision*: A dull, soft thud (like rubber balls hitting). * *Merge*: A satisfying, sparkly "magical chime" or "ding" sound when two identical animals combine. * *Game Over*: A descending "whistle" or sad trombone sound. * *UI*: Crisp clicks for buttons. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: This is a physics-based merge game. * **Spawning**: The player controls a "next animal" indicator at the bottom (or top, standard is usually dropping from top, but description says "Shoot adorable animal balls from below"). *Correction based on description*: "Shoot adorable animal balls from **below**". The launcher moves horizontally at the bottom. * **Physics**: Animals are affected by gravity (pulling them down towards the "top" of the screen if shooting up, or standard gravity if the description implies an inverted view). *Refinement*: Let's stick to standard "Watermelon game" physics (gravity pulls down), but the description says "shoot from below". To make this intuitive: The container is at the top, gravity pulls down, but the player launches balls *upwards* into the container, like a pinball or bubble shooter mechanic. * **Merging**: When two identical animals collide, they instantly despawn and are replaced by one animal of the next tier up at the collision midpoint. This new animal has slightly more mass and a larger radius. * **Winning**: The goal is to create the "Elephant" (the largest tier). * **Losing**: There is a "Dead Line" near the opening of the container. If an animal overflows and stays past this line for more than 3 seconds, the game ends. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** (Vertical). This fits the "bucket" layout best on phones. * **Controls**: * *Aiming*: Touch and drag horizontally anywhere on the bottom 1/4 of the screen to move the "Launcher" (the next animal preview) left and right. * *Shooting*: Release the touch (touchend) to fire the animal vertically upwards into the container. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger a light vibration (if supported) on every successful merge. * **Visual**: A "poof" particle effect or a scaling bounce animation when a merge happens. A dashed "aiming line" projecting upward shows where the ball will travel. * **UI**: * Top right: Current Score (large, readable font). * Top Left: "Next Animal" preview (showing the *next* ball in the queue). * Game Over Screen: A simple overlay with "Final Score" and a large "Restart" button (at least 60x60px for touch targets). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Merge Zoo is a delightful twist on the popular watermelon merge game concept, featuring adorable 3D animals instead of fruits. This engaging puzzle game combines physics-based gameplay with cute animal characters, creating an irresistible gaming experience for players of all ages. Your mission is simple yet challenging: shoot animal balls from the bottom of the screen, watch them bounce and collide, then merge identical animals to create bigger and more impressive creatures.

Game Mechanics

The Merging System

The core gameplay revolves around the classic merge mechanic: when two identical animals touch, they automatically combine into the next animal in the sequence. This creates a satisfying chain reaction that can lead to spectacular merging cascades.

Strategic Shooting

Carefully aim your shots to create optimal merging opportunities. Consider the physics, plan your animal placement, and think ahead to maximize your merging potential while avoiding the dangerous top line.

Challenge and Progression

As you play, the game becomes increasingly challenging. The container fills up with animals, requiring strategic thinking and careful planning to continue merging without crossing the game-ending top line.

Gameplay Strategy

  • Plan your shots carefully to create merging opportunities
  • Try to keep smaller animals at the bottom and larger ones on top
