Bird Hunt Game

Bird Hunt is a fun and challenging game where you can test your shooting skills. When building the game, I was inspired by the famous Duck Hunt game. So, I created my own version of hunting different kind of birds. The game is easy and I hope you like it have fun.

• NOTE This game is designed to be played on a wider screen size. If you are using a mobile device or other small screen, please rotate your device to landscape mode to ensure optimal gameplay.

The user starts with ten bullets, and the number of bullets remaining is displayed below the score.

Typography and color scheme

Colour Scheme

• The color scheme in Bird Hunt game is designed to create a sense of nostalgia and fun. The bright, primary colors are reminiscent of classic arcade games, and the overall aesthetic is simple and easy to understand. I used the blue background color with white text on the buttons to match the sky of the background image. I also used #de7b29 Cherokee Dignity (shades) for the title, scores, results and the timer to help create a sense of excitement and challenge.

Typography

• The typography for the Bird Hunt game is clear and easy to read. I used "Pangolin" font which is a sans-serif font that is designed for use in games. It is a high-contrast font that is easy to read on a variety of devices.
