Indie Prep
We helped Indie Prep turn CAT prep into a game you want to come back to. From onboarding to drills to coach insights, every interaction was designed as part of a pixel-world journey: making practice addictive, progress visible, and learning effortless through play.
The final onboarding feels like starting a game: quick login and no “study app” vibe.
We mapped a frictionless entry into Indie Prep’s pixel world, keeping sign-in and first-time setup minimal.
The App
The dashboard becomes a home base: daily play cues, progress at a glance, and a world that pulls you in.
Wireframes focused on what a player needs first: today’s goal, streak, and next action.
The progress journey reads like a map: clear milestones, visible unlocks, and a “one more level” urge.
We structured level paths and unlock logic to make CAT prep feel like momentum, not syllabus.
The intro screen hypes the warmup like a mini-quest: fast, friendly, and game-paced.
We designed a short pre-drill ramp to set context and reduce drop-offs before play starts.
The warmup question feels snappy and interactive, built for quick wins and streak flow.
We tested a lightweight question layout to avoid cognitive load early in the session.
The drill UI is pure gameplay: focused problem space, clear options, and instant progression.
Wireframes locked the core drill loop: solve → feedback → move forward without distraction.
Performance insights feel like game stats: clean, motivating, and tied to what to play next.
We mapped insight blocks to show improvement without sounding like a report card.
The coach chat feels like an in-world guide: contextual tips that nudge learning while you play.
We explored how coaching could sit naturally inside the game loop, not as a separate “help” tool.
