    paper Bowling Fury Game UI

    I was responsible for creating the core game interface, including the store layouts, dialog screens, home screen buttons, and the UI kit that helped establish a consistent visual language across the game.

    It was a great project to push visual clarity, usability, and a cohesive style that supports the fast-paced gameplay.
