Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "Joe Must Drive" (Action, Adventure, Shooter).
Concept: Joe Must Drive is a fast-paced zombie shooter where you ride a motorcycle with a sidecar, choose between driver or gunner, and survive through obstacles, zombie waves, and boss fights.
Tech: use Three.js; keep it to a single page that loads instantly with no login or install.
Controls: touch controls (tap/drag) that work on a phone plus keyboard and mouse on desktop, shown on a short how-to-play screen.
Multiplayer: the original is listed as multiplayer. Start with a local or bot opponent, then add online play (e.g. WebSockets) once the core loop is fun.
Core loop: include a visible score, a timer or round clock, levels, stages or waves that ramp up, an optional local high-score table, progress saved in localStorage.
Audio: add simple sound effects and music (start audio on the first click/tap).
Steps: 1) get the core mechanic playable with placeholder shapes, 2) add win/lose conditions and restart, 3) polish feel, visuals and sound, 4) add your own twist (setting, character or one new rule).
Make it your own: don't copy the original's name, art, text or code.
