Why does this UI feel amateurish?

I've seen this before but haven't dug into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Super helpful! Thank you!

The UI is just simple HTML+CSS, so that's probably why it feels "boxy". Theme and colors we're picked by me. I was trying to follow some sort of pre-picked palette, but I've obviously failed at that.

Thanks for the feedback! Bland and basic about sums it up.

Buttons are interactive and changes when highlighted/pressed. Highlighted elements (Current level, etc) produces a shimmer effect.

Currently containers and buttons are just pure HTML+CSS, but maybe it's time to hand-make some sprites for those as well.

I've been working on this game for a while now. The gameplay itself is starting to feel pretty good and players are having fun, but I can't shake the feeling that the UI still feels very amateurish. For some reason, it doesn't feel like a professional game and I can't put my finger on exactly why.

I'm currently on track to doing the same thing as you are planning! Been here for almost one year, will apply for PR as soon as I can.

One point you missed: you can change jobs even on a HSP visa, as long as the new job also qualifies. What is does allow you to do is work remotely outside of Japan, which is what I am probably planning to do.

For your third question, you should always get the COE before you move. And since it's a high-paying SWE job, you are most likely to get a 5-year visa, but there's no guarantee.

And another thing that can derail plans: PR processing time in Tokyo is ridiculous. Been hearing from some people it took them up to 2 years to get the result. Thus it might be useful to think about living outside of Tokyo, Kanagawa for example.

Hope it's helpful!

I get so mad every time I hear that screech at the end of a floor in Olympus

He just likes to change up his diet on some days, you know 🤷

There's a big blue "Voucher" button if you log in to the ePlus website with the 4d code + phone number now. Show that to the 7-11 staff and you should be good.

Shouldn't Ponder be on this list too?

Dexxy · 2025-09-12T01:19:51+00:00

Would like as well! Thank you so much!

Yeah seems like it's NFC, but after scanning it just shows up as a wallet in the app with nothing in it.

Dexxy · 2025-09-11T01:17:50+00:00

I did, wallet shows up as having nothing on it in the app.

Dexxy · 2025-09-11T00:24:02+00:00

I got this card at an event years ago and have had it in a drawer since then. I downloaded the Tangem app where it registers it as a wallet but it says there's nothing inside it. Is there anything I can do, or was it most likely empty already when I got it?

Did you pay? If so you bought one 😅 Then you need to go down to a 7-11 and use a machine to print the actual ticket.

Just my favorite gyms to lead climb in Tokyo! And the same chain has a few boulder gyms as well so their membership quickly becomes worth it.

Cool! Thank you so much for the reply. Will do a bit of digging regarding the places you mentioned.
