Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "Star Mercenaries 64" (Shooter).
Concept: A Star Fox 64–style arcade rail shooter where satirical AI-animal mercenaries weaponize capitalism in space—arguing like tech billionaires while blowing up markets.
Tone/hook (from the game's own page): Not heroes. Not villains. Contractors. A satirical space shooter for Vibe Jam 2026.
Tech: use Three.js; keep it to a single page that loads instantly with no login or install.
Controls (as seen on the original's screen): WASD to move, mouse to aim or look, Shift to sprint/dash, Esc/P to pause. Show them on a short how-to-play screen.
Players: single-player.
Core loop: include a visible score, a timer or round clock, 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.
