LARI.js — from kampung to KL

▶ Play: https://markinko202-sys.github.io/lari-js/

A 3D Mario-style platformer for the browser where every life lesson you learn becomes a power. Lari is Malay for run: you run from a night kampung through a rainforest, a volcano, a sunset beach and limestone caves to the rooftops of Kuala Lumpur.

• 6 levels + a finale, each with three life-lesson gates (friendship, health, money, feelings, safety, time, kindness…), a boss and a flagpole. The second gate of each level teaches a virtue that unlocks a power: persistence → double jump · focus → dash · patience → glide · courage → sambal shot · humility → ground pound · resilience → wall jump.
• 12 characters (including Siti, Mei, Priya and Puteri), each with a signature emote and catchphrase; hats, trails and power-ups in the shop, every item with a rendered preview and try-on.
• 4 languages: English, Русский, 中文, Bahasa Melayu.
• Desktop (keyboard) and phones (touch controls, portrait and landscape).

How it's made

• Three.js with ES modules and no build step; a hand-written platformer physics module (js/physics.js) that runs headless in Node.
• Every 3D model is generated with Python in Blender (blender/*.py → Draco-compressed assets/*.glb).
• All music and sound effects are synthesised live with the Web Audio API — ten soundtracks, no audio files.
• tools/check_levels.mjs proves, with the real physics, that every level × difficulty can be finished with quick taps and that no power obstacle can be skipped.
