Designing the Buffers


Alongside win animations, the new game mode also required a design for progression buffers, visual meters that fill up as coins or chips fall. Once filled, these trigger the corresponding win animation.

➡️ Communicate real-time progress clearly without clutter

➡️ Align visually with the game’s coin physics

➡️ Reinforce anticipation through motion and pacing

The buffers became a core part of the game’s feedback loop, encouraging players to engage more deeply with the mechanics.
