Welcome to "Santa's (Lilly's) Christmas Cookies" - an adventurous and humorous Christmas-themed game where you play as Lilly, a fun-loving dog at the North Pole. Santa has lost his Christmas cookies and needs Lilly's help to find them. However, there's a twist! Instead of returning them, Lilly ends up eating the cookies, adding a funny and unexpected element to the game.
Fun fact - Lilly is actually my dog in real life! She's expressed much joy this holiday season knowing us humans are playing as her in a video game!

The development of "Santa's (Lilly's) Christmas Cookies" was heavily inspired by Bruno Simon's ThreeJS Journey course. This course provided invaluable insights and instructions on how to effectively utilize libraries such as React-Three-Fiber and React-Three-Drei. Bruno Simon's teachings have been instrumental in shaping the 3D interactions and animations that brought my game to life. For anyone looking to dive deep into the world of ThreeJS and 3D web development, I highly recommend this course.
- WASD: Move Lilly around.
- Shift: Hold to make Lilly sprint.
