Othello

The first two images are the original design. The two main pain points with the original design were that the user would need to go to the settings panel in order to play the computer or to play offline against another person. It made more sense to be able to play however mode you wanted right when you access the game. The other main issue from doing some user tests was it took people some time to realize there was a time limit when playing people online. The newer designs were made to make the game mode easy to access. During online play, there is a timer on the top so the player knows how much time they have to move. In terms of the visual look,  went with clean minimal elements.
