Three.js: Sound Blaster

A Throwback to Vaporwave and Browser Minigames

SoundBlaster is a 3D spatial audio driving game built with Three.js and a custom Unify-Three framework. It's a real-time driving simulator where players navigate a procedurally generated terrain while collecting "tune nuggets" and avoiding enemies, all with immersive spatial audio.

Core Gameplay

• Objective: Collect all of the "happy tune nuggets" while avoiding "evil tune nuggets" and flying AI enemies before time runs out
• Three Terrain States:
  • Purple (Neutral): Enemies are passive unless you get too close
  • Red (Danger): Triggered by hitting evil nuggets - all enemies become aggressive for 15 seconds
  • Blue (Power-up): Triggered by hitting good nuggets - enemies become vulnerable and can be collected for bonus time
