Arcade Experiences That Keep Players Coming Back
When players struggle with confusing interfaces or frustrating controls, they walk away. We design intuitive arcade experiences that feel natural from the first coin drop.
The Challenge Arcade Developers Face
Players Leave Too Quickly
You've invested in creating engaging gameplay, but players abandon your arcade cabinet within minutes because they can't figure out the controls or navigate the menus.
Revenue Suffers from Poor UX
Each confused player represents lost revenue. When your interface creates friction instead of flow, players don't return and operators lose confidence in your game.
Generic Solutions Don't Work
Standard UI designers don't understand arcade environments. Your game needs someone who knows the unique challenges of public gameplay in noisy venues.
Accessibility Creates Barriers
You want your game to reach everyone, but implementing proper accessibility features feels overwhelming without expertise in inclusive design practices.
Our User Journey Mapping Approach
We map every touchpoint in the player's experience, identifying friction and optimizing flow from coin insertion to final score screen.
Map Player Pathways
We chart every decision point and interaction in your arcade experience, understanding where players encounter confusion or delight. This creates a clear picture of the current experience.
Identify Experience Gaps
Through testing with diverse player groups, we pinpoint exactly where your interface creates friction. We understand what works in arcade environments and what doesn't.
Design Intuitive Solutions
We craft interfaces that feel natural to players, using visual hierarchy and interaction patterns proven in arcade settings. Every element serves the player's understanding.
Validate Through Testing
We test our designs with real players in simulated arcade conditions, refining until the experience flows naturally. Your game becomes immediately understandable to newcomers.
