How Do You Like The Menu’s?

Hello everyone!

I wanted to know YOUR opinion on my new game I am creating. I am felling that the menu’s for the game don’t feel “alive”, they fell a bit depressing in a way… I put a couple of screenshots below showing the menu’s. Thanks for your opinion! :)

Here is the Main Menu:

 

Here is the Mission Selection Menu (I still need to adjust the numbers):

 

Thanks for your help!

 

From the help that ludumdare.com has given me, I have edited the menu’s to look like this (I will still edit it more though):

They just feel bland. The background is much too simple for a game, and the main menu buttons themselves are just text labels. Try adding some artwork as background, or even consider coding an interactive/ dynamic background for the menus (maybe a demo of the first level or something).

Tell us what the game is about, and the mood you want it to have.

Looking better! 😀 I can’t see it in action (yet :P) but it looks like it still needs a bit of motion. Maybe make the background a simple, slow-scrolling pattern. That could look stylish. 😀
