UI Screenshots

For the aesthetics of the page we have opted for a retro look that is reminiscent of old NES games. We felt like this style would be easy to work with, and also create a unique and iconic look for our web application. The aesthetic is also referential of old role-playing games (RPGs), where a lot of the battles are held through back-and-forth turn-based interactions between the player's party and a boss character. We adopted this approach in our gamification attempts, which emulate such text-based RPG battles.
