In-Depth Reviews of Car Crushers 2's UI - WANTED

Default Text

By creating a topic, make sure its:

  • Easily readable

  • Follows ToS and Rules within CCDiscussion

  • A useful discussion that is debateable

So, I think the UI is awesome, but a) I want to know others’ opinions, and b) I would like to do an in-depth analysis of it. Here are the different categories I will be analysing:

  • Stats (Money, Parts, Scraps, Credits, etc. displays)
  • Top Centre UI
  • Mission Hub
  • Admin Panel
  • Server Configurator
  • Dealership (you may narrow this down into Top Bar, Vehicle Stats, Upgrade Shop, etc.)
  • Mission and Popup tiles (the ones that shortcut to events or open the Admin Panel, etc.)
  • Vehicle Actions & Speed Bar (review both mobile and non-mobile please)
  • Mobile Vehicle Controls
Copypaste template for the review. You needn't really use this, if it seems overwhelming, it's just for clarity.

My Review

  • Stats

10 out of 10
They have a nice, neat-looking structure: Icon, and then stat name-value

  • Top Centre UI

10 out of 10
It’s good, and you can access the game’s main features

  • Mission Hub

10 out of 10
Well-structured, with clear sub-sections. Mission sets are superbly well-structured into the folder itself, and all the lists with the submissions. The missions themselves are also nice, clearly displaying live progress and completion rewards.

  • Admin Panel

7 out of 10
The reason this isn’t a 10 is because it is more unclear, and less structured than any other UIs. Buttons and text boxes are kind of hectically scattered all over the place. And everything is the same colour - blue.

  • Server Configurator

More than 10 out of 10
The exact opposite of the Admin Panel. Colourful, structured into key-value, or grids, or other satisfying, pleasing ways to configurate your server. The only problem is, sometimes the buttons to change between configuration categories disappear -_-

  • Dealership

10 out of 10
The vehicle stats are clear. The vehicle tiles could be better, they could change based on how you paint your car, but this isn’t really significant. Upgrades are displayed in clear and understandable categories and subcategories.

  • Mission and Popup tiles

10 out of 10
I couldn’t think of any other way to do them

  • Vehicle Actions & Speed Bar

10 out of 10
Devs found a way for there to be no need for actions to be added or removed depending on various factors. The speed bar also clearly shows speed unless you bug it out haha

  • Mobile Vehicle Controls

6 out of 10
They look a bit unrealistic, but it doesn’t get a fail because how else do you suggest we remake them?

  • Powerups

10 out of 10
They clearly illustrate what they do.

  • Overall Opinion

9 out of 10
Those few setbacks back there aren’t that big. The UI in this game is fabulous and mostly irreplaceable.
