Deathchase
Deathchase is a WebGL homage to the 1983 ZX Spectrum classic by Mervyn Estcourt.
Chase enemy motorcycles through an endless procedural forest at breakneck speed — steer, throttle, shoot, dodge trees. Now with real Three.js physics, GLB-modeled bikes, day/night cycles, and neon-dark skies.
