Interface Interaction Insights
Misleading illustration. Makes the user feel like they are expected to perform an action, when they do not.
Inconsistency in the styles of Illustrations on various screens.
Childish Appearance.
There is no fixed color palette for the interface.
Differences can be observed in the palette used for different screens.
The illustrations are not relevant to the task expected to be performed and are hard to understand.
Lack of hierarchy in the web browser. The user does not know where to focus.
Certain custom icons are difficult to understand since the user cannot relate to them visually, and there is no supporting text either.
Digression from the standard terminologies and use of custom terms makes it difficult for the user to understand.
The joystick remote is hidden and hard to find.
