Changes / Progression

Since the project began, efforts have focused on intuitive design and accessibility.

I have:

Reduced words for different literacy levels in both menus and gameplay
Created clearer interface elements to differentiate and select different frogs by changing colour and size of direction arrows, and the active frog bar to select frogs.
Implemented dynamic controls into the UI
Used sprite size, image, and colour changes to communicate to the player their current action, such as which frog or lilypad they have selected.
