Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "Dreadnaught" (Action, Shooter).
Concept: Survives waves of Zombie Levelsio attacking you on the moon.
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, Space to jump. Show them on a short how-to-play screen.
Players: single-player.
Core loop: include a visible score, a timer or round clock, levels, stages or waves that ramp up, progress saved in localStorage.
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.

Remix notes (our suggestions, not the creator's)

Dreadnaught is a Three.js action shooter with one of the strangest pitches on Vibe1Up: survive waves of Zombie Levelsio attacking you on the moon. It's a wave-survival game built around an inside joke from the indie-maker world, and that kind of in-joke can make a game spread among the people who get it. Remix idea (our suggestion): keep wave survival but aim the humour at your own community. Pick a running joke your friends or followers share and make it the enemy, the setting or the power-ups. Keep it friendly. Prompting tip: ask your AI tool for an arena with waves that grow in size and speed, an upgrade pick between waves, and a high score saved locally. Low gravity is a fun twist on the moon, so ask for adjustable gravity and jump height in the config and tune it until it feels floaty but controllable.
