final design
The game launched on the Apple and Google Play stores in May 2021, and is compatible with iPhone and iPad devices. The final designs of the game did not include all of the updated UI elements shown above given the time limitations. This networked multiplayer game proved to be successful, especially during the pandemic, and facilitated friendly competition amongst friends.
