Vintage Ping Pong — Game UI/UX Design

Vintage Ping Pong is a fast-paced 2D arcade game reimagining classic table tennis through an authentic 1980s illustrated aesthetic saturated neon palettes, hand-drawn line work, halftone textures, and bold retro typography.
As UI/UX Designer & Developer, I led the complete design system: diegetic HUD elements integrated into 4 distinct themed arenas (Stadium Park, Desert Arena, Frozen Tundra, Clockwork Field), a modular button/component library with full hover and pressed states, and a WCAG AA-compliant accessibility pass across the entire interface.
The project spans reference mockups through full Unity Canvas implementation, including a custom sprite pipeline for the in-progress multiplayer lobby (Discord-integrated voice channel, host/guest slots, lobby code sharing). Built for WebGL, Windows, and macOS with a 60 FPS performance target across menus and gameplay.
