Deaflingo
A retro-inspired, competitive mobile app where people track their daily performance, compete weekly and earn rewards.
Competition that still feels good
Deaflingo wanted an engaging, innovative experience where people track their daily performance, compete weekly and earn rewards: a fun, retro-inspired platform that motivates users to keep improving while building a sense of achievement.
The challenge was combining the excitement of competition with thoughtful, retro-inspired visuals, so each screen is not just functional but a small piece of storytelling that invites people to explore, compete and learn.
Retro charm, modern usability
The work ran as a five-step sprint: market research, planning, design and prototyping, user testing, then development and refinement. Progress is represented by animals, from the rhino for the beginnings of strength to the camel for endurance and the giraffe for growth, and medals and a leaderboard make each week feel like a small tournament.
JetBrains Mono gives the app its retro, legible character, paired with Nunito, and a warm palette of desert sand, deep green and burnt orange keeps it inviting. Generous spacing keeps every screen calm, so the competition stays motivating rather than stressful.
