Desert Ring Rush

Cinevva's analyzer read this game's design doc and its source, then wrote the brief below. "Make your own" hands it to the game creator as your opening message, so you start from a real spec rather than a one-line idea.

Create a playable third-person 3D endless runner titled “Desert Ring Rush.” Use a warm low-poly desert aesthetic with a pale orange sky, foggy horizon, broad golden sand ground, and a straight sandy runway receding into the distance. The runway is 12 units wide and divided into three lanes by two faint glowing cream lane lines, with raised dark-orange sandstone rails along both edges. Place stylized low-poly palm trees irregularly on both sides outside the rails, with occasional rocks and ruin scenery.

The player is an auto-running blue wind creature centered in a follow-camera view: a glossy blue sphere-like body, small pale-gold belly, and several bright cyan swept-back quills/spikes suggesting wind. It casts a soft circular shadow on the track. The camera sits behind and above the runner, looking forward down the runway; smoothly follow horizontal lane movement and forward travel, with a slight camera lift/pullback during boost. Use soft shadows, warm hemisphere lighting, a strong low desert sun, and atmospheric fog.

Core loop: show an initial centered overlay with the title, the message “Sprint through a magical desert, grab golden rings, dodge ruins, and boost through the wind gates.” and a prominent “Start run” button. When started, the runner automatically moves forward at speed 17; distance increases continuously and the speed gradually rises with distance, up to the implemented cap contribution. The track should feel endless by recycling runway segments and continuously spawning obstacle/collectible patterns ahead, removing objects behind the player. Generate varied patterns across the three lanes: lines of rotating golden torus rings, alternating lane ring trails, ring spirals/zigzags, obstacles blocking two lanes with one safe lane, and other mixtures of rings and hazards. Golden rings float around y=1.05, with some elevated rings around y=2.2 that require jumping. Rings rotate and add one to the ring counter when the player passes close enough in x, y, and z.

The player can switch among exactly three lanes, smoothly moving between x positions -3.2, 0, and 3.2. Keyboard controls: A/Left Arrow moves one lane left, D/Right Arrow moves one lane right, Space/Up Arrow/W jumps, and Shift spends one ring for a manual boost. Provide matching mobile touch buttons: ◀ and ▶ at lower left, and BOOST plus ▲ at lower right. Jump applies upward velocity about 12.2 with gravity about 29, allowing the player to clear hazards and reach elevated rings. The player rolls/spins while airborne and continuously rotates while running.

Spawn sandstone ruin hazards as short leaning polygonal brown pillars, plus occasional low-poly rocks. On contact at ground level in the same lane, if the player has rings, remove 8 rings, reduce speed by 4 but not below 14, briefly grant invulnerability and flash feedback; if there are no rings, end the run. Jumping above the obstacle height avoids it. Add glowing cyan wind gates made from two opposing semicircular arcs across the central path. Passing through a gate while aligned with its opening grants a temporary automatic speed boost; animate the gate rotation/pulse. A manual boost is available only when the ring count is positive: spend one ring and add a short boost timer. Boosts visibly increase speed and slightly alter camera height/distance. Do not add weapons, enemies, lives, or other mechanics not described.

HUD must remain overlaid and readable: three rounded translucent dark-gold pills across the top labeled “Rings” with current count, “Speed” with rounded current speed, and “Best” with the best distance followed by “m.” Beneath them, show the instruction line “A/D or ◀/▶ to switch lanes · Space/▲ jumps · Shift boosts”. Keep bottom touch controls visible with left/right arrow buttons, an orange BOOST button, and a blue ▲ jump button. On game over, replace the center overlay with “Run ended” and text stating the reached distance and carried rings, plus a “Restart run” button; save and display the best distance across runs. Make the layout responsive for desktop and mobile, with non-interactive HUD except for buttons, rounded translucent controls, white text, warm shadows, and a golden gradient start/restart button.
