A browser-based desktop arcade designed to make games easy to discover, launch and revisit without a cluttered interface.
University Web Application Project. RETROWEB was created as a desktop-first browser arcade, inspired by sites such as Cool Math Games.
The goal was to let users jump into games quickly and track high scores without navigating an overloaded interface.
A symmetrical layout uses Gestalt principles to direct attention toward the central game options, while persistent navigation keeps games and account settings available from every screen.
The high-contrast black-and-white UI supports readability, with customisable accent colours for the background.
The application achieved a 100% Lighthouse accessibility score, with keyboard navigation, image alt text and accessible audio controls.
Clear alerts and pop-ups provide feedback when users log in, update account details or achieve a new high score.
