Project Overview

An educational food-themed game developed in collaboration with a bread manufacturing company, aimed at improving children’s breakfast habits. Designed for periods when eating routines tend to become irregular such as after long holidays. The game provides an engaging way for children to learn about nutritional balance through gameplay and manga-style storytelling.

Approach

To create a seamless experience between manga and gameplay, I established guidelines for color palettes, typography, and illustration style, ensuring strong visual consistency across the entire product. This enabled a smooth transition from story to interaction. I also focused on designing visually compelling thumbnails and title logos that allow users to instantly understand the content and feel motivated to play. Given the small display size of thumbnails, I carefully curated visual elements to prioritize clarity and impact. The design maintains high readability and visibility while maximizing appeal within a limited space. As a result, the game became the most played title among over 100 games on the platform.
