Approach
Working closely with the game designer, we leaned toward an old digital theme inspired by classic computers and arcade games. Bright neon lights and pixelated graphics capture the essence of retro gaming, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. The on-screen controls are mimicking the tactile feedback of arcade buttons, bringing back the authentic feel of classic arcade gameplay.

The core flow should prioritize getting players into gameplay quickly, without unnecessary screens or choices. Signup/Login is optional and not required at startup; rather registering a 3-character name will suffice for the leaderboard feature. Other functions, like customization and stats are easily accessible from the main menu.

The interface is designed to keep the focus on the main screen with simple indicators on the top function bar. In earlier iterations, the submenus for Customization, Leaderboard, and Statistics were inconsistent, leading to a disjointed experience. The latest version unifies these into consistent pages, making navigation more intuitive for users. The meter below the main screen dynamically displays various information, such as page numbers, loading progress, or combo scores.

Gameplay
Players will navigate through incoming sawblades and shurikens, with each level lasting 60 seconds. As the levels progress, the speed and difficulty increase. To earn points, players must jump over projectiles, earning two combo points for each successful jump. Combo points multiply each point received, but they decrease every 10 seconds if the player fails to score. Occasionally, power-ups will drop from projectiles, offering different single use abilities to assist the player.
