Menu Layout
The colors used need to contrast with the background. Since everything is backgrounded by an outer space atmosphere, the color scheme is pretty rich, the game itself will take almost all colors available, so the menu itself will need to be monochromatic almost and has to have a consistent color so that the player always know "when this color scheme is being displayed I'm not in the game".
Maybe with a simple shader, we could add a duotone effect in order to set everything in the game with the Menu color scheme. The main problem with this approach is that the contrast of the colors used in a flat design, the main graphic aesthetic, aren't made using values, but hue and shapes. Yet it could work. For instance, that's how it would look like:
The title screen is where the game will begin after the splash screen. It is supposed to have a clean look with a small advertisement randomly generated every time the game begins. There we will have main options, such as sound volume, language and access to Achievements and available skins.
Don't forget to remove the quit button
Maybe remove the ads space and use the logo instead
After the credits screen, the player will go back to the title screen.
When the player loses they go to the game over screen. This screen will be actually a high score screen, showing the current score, the higher score, and the achievement unlocked during the game session, which will also be displayed at the moment the player fulfill its requirements.
After the game initializes, the player will be in the Tittle screen, which has three options to go further:
- Gameplay Screen, which contains the game itself
- the Credits Screen
- Achievements and Skins, which the player will be able to see the already unlocked achievements and select skins to use in the game play session.
Every screen but the gameplay one will be able to go to the title screen directly, the gameplay screen will only flow to the Game Over Screen, here named as Score and Badges Screen, from this one the player can go either back to the title screen or retry the gameplay.
