Firstly, I’d like to say there is a day and night difference between where your started and where you are now. Your map-making skills have most definitely changed a lot, as well as your UI crafting abilities.
The overall idea of the game is quite intriguing, however, there are certain marks you need to improve on in order to push you closer to making a home run game. The User Interface; the idea is there and a goal in mind is present, however, the neatness of the interface needs to be perfected. I’m a big sucker for consistency, so when I see certain things out of place it turns me off. When you went from the main screen to the Play Menu, it seemed as if there was an entirely different style in place. I suggest going with what’s on the main screen and keeping the orange theme that the Play button holds, also possibly making the other UI the same “wonky and imperfect” rectangle style. Not forgetting to mention, the stroke on the Play Menu’s UI is far too large and looks quite out of place. I’ve attached a quick example I drafted to get a clearer image.
All in all, I think you are on the right track and if you spend a lot of time and effort in perfecting your skills, you’ll be on the big scene in no time!
