Slime Road

🟢 Slime Road: Spatial Precision and Rhythm

Slime Road is a minimalist 3D platformer that focuses on Spatial Alignment and Z-Axis Movement. Unlike endless runners with wide lanes, this game requires pixel-perfect precision. The player controls a ball of slime traveling down a procedural pipe or road. The objective is to pass through hoops (targets) and jump over gaps. The challenge lies in the Hitbox Precision; clipping the edge of a hoop often results in a loss of momentum or a fail state.

🎯 The "Center Shot" Mechanic

The game rewards accuracy with a combo system.

• Perfect Center: Passing exactly through the center of a hoop grants maximum points and often a speed boost.
• Rim Hits: Hitting the edge is safe but breaks the "flow" combo.
• Air Control: Once airborne (jumping), the player retains some control over the X-axis. Adjusting your landing mid-air is a critical skill for navigating twisting tracks where the landing zone is blind until the apex of the jump.

🎨 Visual Cues and Color Theory

The game utilizes a distinct, low-poly art style with high contrast colors.

• Contrast for Reaction: The hoops are always a contrasting color to the background (e.g., bright yellow on a purple sky). This aids in rapid visual identification.
• Fog of War: The distant track is often obscured by fog, preventing long-term planning. Players must react to what is immediately visible (approx 1-2 seconds of lead time).

🎶 Rhythmic Entrainment

While not strictly a rhythm game, the placement of hoops and jumps often synchronizes with the background music. Players who "feel the beat" often find it easier to time their jumps than those playing on mute. This suggests a design built around Auditory-Motor Synchronization.
