Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "Shady Bears". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** 2.5D Side-scrolling Platformer with a "Flat Shaded" or "Toon Shaded" aesthetic to match the illustrative style of the reference. * **Character Model:** A cute, chunky, low-poly bear in a bright reddish-orange color. The bear should have simple animations (idle: slight breathing, move: waddle/run, jump: stretch). * **The Shadow (Enemy):** A semi-transparent, dark grey/black silhouette mesh that shares the same geometry as the player but lacks detail. * **Environment:** Abstract forest setting. Use low-poly geometric shapes (cylinders/cubes) in teal and mint green shades to represent trees and foliage in the background. Platforms should be dark, solid geometric blocks. * **Items:** * **Acorns:** nutty brown/gold, rotating floating items. * **Honey Pot:** Golden, glowing item (high value). * **Firefly:** Small glowing particle emitter (yellow/green). * **Mobile Optimization:** Use `THREE.BoxGeometry` and `THREE.SphereGeometry` merging where possible to reduce draw calls. Use basic lighting (Ambient + 1 Directional) to save battery performance. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A playful, "sneaky," and upbeat woodwind and percussion track (marimba/flute) that loops seamlessly. * **SFX:** * **Jump:** A soft "whoosh" or cartoon spring sound. * **Collect Acorn:** A crisp, high-pitched "pop" or coin sound. * **Shadow Spawn:** A spooky "whoosh" or low-frequency hum. * **Death/Game Over:** A sad trombone or "bonk" sound. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic (The Ghost System):** The game must record the player's position and animation state every frame into an array. Every 5-10 seconds, a "Shadow Bear" spawns at the starting point and replays the player's exact movement history. If the player touches their own Shadow, it is Game Over. * **Objective:** Navigate platforms to collect Acorns. The score increases with every acorn. * **Power-ups:** * **Honey:** Spawns periodically. Collecting it gives a massive score boost but summons a "Bee" (a small red hazard sphere) that chases the player slowly. * **Firefly:** Collecting this instantly destroys the nearest Shadow. * **Victory/Failure:** * **Win:** Reach a specific high score (e.g., 50 acorns). * **Loss:** Touching a Shadow, touching a Bee, or falling off the platform. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Control Scheme:** Since keyboard multiplayer is impossible on a single phone screen, implement a **Single Player** mobile control scheme. * **Left Bottom Screen:** Virtual Joystick or Two large buttons (Left/Right arrow icons) for horizontal movement. * **Right Bottom Screen:** A large circular "Jump" button. * **Camera:** The camera should smoothly follow the player on the X and Y axis with a slight damping/delay to feel cinematic. * **Feedback:** * Trigger `window.navigator.vibrate(20)` when collecting an acorn. * Trigger `window.navigator.vibrate(200)` on death. * Screen Shake: Subtle camera shake when a Shadow spawns. * **Orientation:** Force Landscape mode (adapt canvas resize listener to maintain aspect ratio). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.

Game Introduction

About Shady Bears

Shady Bears is a charming platform adventure game that combines cute animal characters with innovative shadow-chasing gameplay mechanics. As an adorable bear on a mission to collect acorns, you'll face a unique challenge - your greatest enemy is your own shadow! This creative twist on traditional platform games creates an exciting and strategic gameplay experience that's perfect for solo play or local multiplayer sessions with up to 4 friends.

Core Features

Unique Shadow Mechanics

The game's signature feature is its innovative shadow system. Your shadow closely mimics your every move and relentlessly chases you throughout each level. This creates a constant tension as you must carefully plan your movements to avoid being caught while still collecting valuable acorns.

Local Multiplayer Fun

Shady Bears shines in its multiplayer mode, supporting up to 4 players locally . Each player controls their own bear while dealing with their individual shadows, creating chaotic and hilarious moments as players must coordinate to avoid each other's shadows while competing for acorns.

Sweet Rewards and Dangers

Collect honey to boost your acorn count, but beware of the bees that are attracted to it! Strategic risk-taking becomes essential as you decide whether the reward is worth the potential danger.

Helpful Fireflies

Look out for magical fireflies scattered throughout levels - these helpful creatures can eliminate shadows, providing temporary relief and strategic opportunities to collect more acorns safely.
