Star Skimmer 3D is a browser-based endless runner built with Three.js — no download, no install, just click and play. Pick between three ships (Comet, Raptor, Nebula), each with its own feel, and skim through a procedurally escalating obstacle field using boost and shield mechanics that force fast trade-offs. Built solo as a side project to see how far a lightweight WebGL game could go in a single tab.
