Help and feedback on current UI

So about a month ago I asked for feedback on my game UI in this post here

After taking you guys advice I shaped my UI into what it is now, but I’m still getting complaints that it’s bland, boring, and hard to navigate. So whatever you guys suggest I’m open ears. Thank you!

Main Menu

Customization Selection

Character Customization Screen

Gun Selection Screen

Item Shop

Statistics Screen

Player Settings

The biggest complaint is the sidebar from what I’m noticing. I appreciate any help I get.

Hey! From what has been provided, I think you have a super good base. Personally I like most of it, but I’d look into touching up on the following:

In regards to the sidebar, maybe try touching it up by adding a border around the edges, and/or rounding the existing edges rather than it being sharply-edged. Try experimenting with the color and transparency of your UI as well, maybe sticking with a new color theme rather than just dark grey and white?

Same with the buttons up top, maybe look into rounding the edges, and incorporating a possible color theme there as well.


  1. Main Menu: the white text underneath the three buttons at the top of the screen is kind of hard to see (not sure if the background stays that light shade of blue or varies). This could be fixed with a darker background, or a block surrounding the word (not sure if this makes sense?). Also, the text size difference on the player card between “Main Menu” and “Enter Game” is slightly off-setting.

  2. Customization Selection: I’d look into adding the border from the primary card into the other side ones as well.

  3. Character Customization: I think this screen looks great, only thing I could point out is the spacing on the right-hand side between each “skin locker” icon is a bit off. I’d say at least make the spacing between the top and first row of icons the same size as what’s in-between.

  4. Gun Selection: This screen also looks good, maybe just look into increasing the spacing between the main box and the “select/box” one.

  5. Item Shop: Personally I feel as if this screen looks amazing. Nice work!

  6. Statistics Screen: This screen sort of makes it appear as if text is just all over the screen. Perhaps look into giving each category its own box, or finding another way to cleanly organize each group!

  7. Player Settings: This screen looks wonderful as well, not much I would change other than maybe the coloring, as mentioned before.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I’m hoping you’ll find some of what I suggested useful! I think you’re really talented at what you do already. Let me know if you need me to clarify any of my points & good luck!

Took your advice and here’s the progress:

The rest of the menu’s are still the same, just the background color is a pretty teal color which helps bring out the white font.

I feel like a gradient of some sort, maybe with a repeating design, would work well as the background. I don’t really have much else than that, thought.

I think you’ve made really good progress thus far- the small changes really do make a difference.

Keep playing around with it until you find something that both you and your players like. Overall though it looks really good!

Huge hiatus due to graduating college, but new UI design that I would like feedback on.

I’ve completely changed how the UI looks to give it a more minimalist yet attractive look to it.

That looks pretty good! The background is a bit bland, so maybe spruce it up a little with more details. I do really like the minimalist UI though! :+1:

From what you had before, this UI looks amazing. You could add some more colours to your buttons. I really love this style and would love to see more of your work in the future.

I started adding more features to the UI, such as gun selection, button highlighting certain colors when you’re on that menu, and sever other subtle things. Right now the UI has a lot of placeholders, and I might work on the background a bit more. I just don’t know what to add. Thanks for the feedback!
