Overview

The prototype presents an arcade-style running experience with a menu state and gameplay state, emphasizing clarity over complexity.

Challenge

Game interfaces need to communicate status instantly. The player should understand motion, danger and progress without reading instructions.

Solution

I used strong contrast, compact controls and a clear gameplay frame to make the interaction immediately legible while keeping the visual identity sharp.

Architecture

The project separates menu and gameplay screens, keeping state changes obvious and maintaining a compact visual system for score, action and feedback.
