UI Ideas

Hi guys,
Please check out this video.

What I am concerned about is the HUD. What you see is a Timer, Shot Count and Name.

I want to include a power meter, but am debating exactly as to how.

Since only one player can play at a time, I am thinking about making a more singular HUD.

The game is designed for mobile, so if I install a power meter, I may just attach it, or position it tot finger pos etc.

Anyhow, please any HUD ninjas, please respond.

Thanks

Are you asking a technical question, such as how to implement it? Or are you asking a design question, such as what is a good design to implement?

Design.

How do you think its working. Do you like it? Do you think a power meter would work well here?

I think the power meters shown in the video relay the information well to the player. I like how the turn is indicated by the UI scaling up. It looks nice and functional.

Maybe an arrow in front of the putter? Its vertical curve could match the white square thing you did that defines how far the putter is pulled. As for the power meter, the arrow could gradually fill up. Fully drawn arrow means full power.

Probably could outline the arrow similarly to how you outlined the squares, now that I think of it.
