Hello everyone!<\/p>\n

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! \":)\"<\/p>\n

Here is the Main Menu:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is the Mission Selection Menu (I still need to adjust the numbers):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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):<\/p>\n
