Football Strike

Overview

Football Strike is Miniclip's multiplayer football game, and my biggest UX project there.

The challenge

Give players a reason to come back beyond climbing the leaderboard.

My role

Game designer owning the game's UX.

What I did

  • Designed the interface, applying lessons from Basketball Stars.
  • Created an intermediate hub in the customisation flow that recaps stats and shows striker and goalkeeper side by side.
  • Shaped the Career mode after arcade story modes, for a real sense of progression.

Outcome

Launched on iOS and Android. The UX I designed for Football Strike then became the template for a full revamp of Basketball Stars.

What I learned

Every game teaches the next one. The best ideas here came from what didn't work before.
