# About PlayTime.col

PlayTime.col is a charming and inventive 3D puzzle-platformer built with Three.js. In this game, you control a cute, googly-eyed blob character in a world filled with colorful platforms and challenges. The core of the game revolves around a unique color-mixing mechanic. You start as a blue blob, but you can't solve the puzzles alone.

To progress, you must find and merge with other color blobs scattered throughout the level. Combining your blue color with a yellow blob will turn you green, granting you access to new areas. You must strategically merge and split with other blobs to activate color-coded switches, reveal hidden paths, and ultimately navigate your way to the final goal.

## How to Play

The objective is to guide your blob from the start of the level to the golden goal ring at the end.

1.  **Move &amp; Jump:** Use the standard platformer controls to run and jump across different platforms. Be careful not to fall off the edge!
2.  **Find &amp; Merge:** Explore the level to find other colored blobs (NPCs). When you get close to one, a prompt will appear. Press the 'Merge' key to absorb the blob and combine its color with yours. For example, merging your initial blue with yellow will make you green.
3.  **Solve Puzzles:** Stand on special switch platforms with the correct color to activate them. In the game, you'll need the green color to activate a switch that builds a rainbow bridge to the next area.
4.  **Split When Needed:** If you need your original color back, or the color of the blob you absorbed, use the 'Split' key. This will separate you, returning you to your previous color and spawning the other blob nearby.
5.  **Reach the Goal:** Use your color-changing abilities to overcome all obstacles and reach the final platform to win.

## Features

- **Dynamic Color-Mixing Mechanic:** The heart of the gameplay. Merge with blobs to mix primary colors (Blue, Yellow) into secondary colors (Green) to solve puzzles.
- **Engaging 3D Platforming:** Jump, run, and explore a simple yet captivating 3D world with physics-based movement and challenges.
- **Responsive Controls:** Play seamlessly on both desktop with a keyboard and on mobile devices with intuitive touch controls.
- **Charming Visuals:** Features cute blob characters with expressive eyes and a vibrant, clean art style with soft shadows and emissive colors.

## Controls

**Desktop:**
- **Move:** WASD or Arrow Keys
- **Jump:** Spacebar
- **Merge:** E (when near another blob)
- **Split:** Q (when you are merged with another color)

**Mobile:**
- **Move Left:** Tap and hold the left 40% of the screen.
- **Move Right:** Tap and hold the right 40% of the screen.
- **Jump:** Tap the bottom-center area of the screen.
- **Merge:** Tap the message pop-up ("Press E to merge...") to initiate a merge.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Plan Your Colors:** Before merging, think about what color you'll need ahead. The green switch is visible early on, hinting that you'll need to find a yellow blob to mix with your blue.
- **Use Split Strategically:** Splitting is not just for reverting your color. You can use it to leave the second blob in a specific spot if needed later, or to quickly change colors if you find yourself on the wrong path.
- **Watch Your Step:** The physics are bouncy and fun, but falling off the platforms will force you to restart the level. Take your time with tricky jumps.
