Make button move or play sounds when the are pushed. Indicate more precisely what button is for what action. To sum up : get some reads about UI good practices. Even if you don't do much UI, it's always worth knowing UI good practice for game design inspiration because there are lot of connections between UI experience and game experience.\r- Graphics. Hand drawing is ok but at least some anti-aliasing would help getting a smooth rendering.\r- Not a real game experience, but I'm not sure it could be improved in this case because it's more a service than a game, and I appreciate that.
