Researches, mood boards and references.
For the future app visual style, I decided to come up with two visual styles.
First – Light UI style is good for daily use apps and also helps users to focus on the content, instead of the UI itself.
Second – Dark UI style brings a unique feeling, playfulness and strong visual contrast.

Dark vs. light layout — combination works best. Darker layout was considered the best option. Three female participants noted, that the lighter version was "a nice break from the darkness", especially in the profile section and leaderboard view. A combination of dark and light was considered the best option (eg. in the leaderboard view).

Summary
During last 10 months we've executed the fully working and functional mobile app for iOS and Android platforms. Efficient work of the whole design team delivered the product under lots of pressure and tight deadlines. Sprint by sprint team iterated visual and ux work.
My role was to deliver visual and ux, to cooperate and implement design with dev team for the core app and help game designers to deliver right visual and ui assets for the minigames.
