MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Ricochet Kills**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: **Minimalist Noir / Silhouette Style**. The game should look like a 2.5D side-scroller. * **Foreground**: Deep black (#000000) for the player character, enemies, and physical platforms. Use `ExtrudedGeometry` to give slight 3D depth to walls and platforms, but keep the shading flat (`MeshBasicMaterial`). * **Background**: A flat, muted light grey (#E0E0E0) or subtle concrete texture. * **Platforms**: Implement the iconic "steel truss" look (X-shaped cross-bracing) using simple line segments or textures within the black platform blocks. * **Characters**: * **Player**: A stylized black silhouette of a gunman (trench coat vibe). * **Enemies**: Stationary black silhouettes. * **Effects**: * **Blood**: When an enemy is hit, generate a burst of red (#FF0000) square particles (`PointsMaterial`) that stay on the scene/walls temporarily to simulate splatter. * **Bullet Trails**: A faint white trail or smoke line following the bullet's path. * **Mobile Optimization**: Use instanced rendering for particles. Avoid dynamic shadows; rely on high contrast colors for visual clarity on small screens. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A slow, suspenseful **Noir Jazz** loop (upright bass, light hi-hats) or a dark ambient drone to create tension. * **Sound Effects (SFX)**: * **Gunshot**: A sharp, suppressed "thwip" or a loud magnum bang (depending on weapon). * **Ricochet**: Distinct metallic "ping" or "clank" sounds when bullets hit walls. Pitch shift slightly on each bounce to avoid repetition. * **Impact**: A squishy "thud" for hitting enemies. * **Success/Fail**: A short noir stinger chord for level clearance. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Objective**: Eliminate all enemies in the level using a limited number of bullets (e.g., 5 bullets). * **Physics Mechanic**: * The core mechanic is **Ricochet**. Bullets must bounce off walls/floors/ceilings to reach enemies behind cover. * Bullets should have high elasticity (bounciness) and maintain momentum for at least 3-5 bounces. * Use a physics engine (like Cannon.js or a simple custom 2D reflection vector logic) to handle collisions. * **Win Condition**: All enemy entities are destroyed. * **Lose Condition**: Player runs out of bullets while enemies remain. * **Ragdoll/Death**: Upon death, enemies should fall over or disappear with the blood particle effect. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Landscape Mode** (to view the whole puzzle layout). * **Touch Control Scheme**: **"Drag-to-Aim & Release-to-Shoot"**. * Touch anywhere on the screen and drag. * This rotates an aim line originating from the player's gun. * The distance of the drag could optionally adjust bullet speed (or keep speed constant and just use drag for precision aiming). * Release the finger to fire. * **Aim Assist (Crucial)**: Render a **dotted trajectory line** that shows the bullet's path *including the first bounce reflection*. This is essential for mobile precision. * **UI Layout**: * **Ammo Counter**: Large bullet icons in the top-left corner. * **Restart Button**: A clearly visible "R" or "Refresh" icon (min 44x44px) in the top-right, away from the aiming zone. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when the gun fires and a heavier vibration when an enemy is killed. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About the Game

Ricochet Kills is a captivating physics-based puzzle shooter that revolutionizes traditional shooting games by focusing on strategic ricochet mechanics. With a solid rating of 3.8/5 from thousands of players, this challenging puzzle game tests your understanding of physics, angles, and tactical thinking. Instead of direct shots, players must master the art of bullet ricochets to eliminate all targets on each level.

Core Features

Physics-Based Shooting Mechanics

The game's core appeal lies in its realistic ricochet physics system. Every shot you fire follows authentic physics laws, bouncing off surfaces at predictable angles. This creates a satisfying puzzle experience where understanding geometry and physics becomes your greatest weapon.

Progressive Difficulty System

Tagged as a "Hard" game, Ricochet Kills gradually increases in complexity. Early levels teach basic ricochet concepts, while advanced stages require multiple bounces, precise timing, and creative problem-solving skills. Each level presents a unique spatial puzzle that demands careful analysis.

Minimalist Visual Design

The game features clean, black-and-white graphics that focus attention on the puzzle mechanics rather than flashy visuals. This minimalist approach ensures smooth performance across all devices while highlighting the geometric relationships essential to solving each level.

Strategic Puzzle Elements

Unlike traditional shooters that rely on reflexes, Ricochet Kills emphasizes strategic thinking. Players must: - Calculate optimal shooting angles - Predict bullet trajectories - Utilize environmental obstacles effectively - Plan multi-ricochet sequences - Conserve limited ammunition

Gameplay Mechanics

Target Elimination System

Each level contains strategically positioned targets that must be eliminated using ricocheted bullets. Direct shots are often impossible or inefficient, forcing players to use walls, platforms, and obstacles to redirect their ammunition toward the targets.

Environmental Interaction

The game world consists of various geometric structures that serve as ricochet surfaces. Understanding how bullets interact with different angles and surfaces becomes crucial for success. Some levels feature moving platforms or destructible elements that add complexity to the puzzle-solving process.

Ammunition Management

Most levels provide limited shots, adding a resource management element to the puzzle-solving experience. Players must find the most efficient solution rather than simply experimenting with random shots.

Operation Guide

Basic Controls: - Mouse Movement : Aim your weapon by moving the cursor - Left Click : Fire bullets - Mouse Position : Determines shooting angle and trajectory

Strategic Tips: - Study each level layout before shooting - Visualize bullet paths and potential ricochet points - Look for surfaces positioned at 45-degree angles for predictable bounces - Consider multiple-bounce solutions for complex targets - Practice angle estimation to improve accuracy

Advanced Techniques: - Use shallow angles for longer ricochet distances - Combine multiple ricochets for chain reactions - Utilize corners and edges for precise redirections - Plan shots that can eliminate multiple targets

Why Play Ricochet Kills

Unique Puzzle Experience

Ricochet Kills offers a refreshing alternative to traditional puzzle games by combining spatial reasoning with physics simulation. The satisfaction of executing a perfect multi-ricochet shot provides an unmatched gaming experience.
