Workflow of UI elements

The Goonies game follows a sequential workflow designed for an engaging player experience. It commences with an animated introduction that sets the stage for the adventure. Following this, players dive into the gameplay, navigating through challenges. The stakes are high, as losing all life results in a game over scenario. This initiates a loop mechanism, leading players back to the beginning, fostering a sense of resilience and determination.

Upon successfully conquering a stage, the gameplay transitions seamlessly into another captivating animation. This cycle repeats, offering a dynamic rhythm to the gaming experience. The loop continues until players either triumphantly complete the entire game or face the ultimate challenge of a game over. This carefully crafted workflow ensures an immersive and rewarding journey for players in The Goonies game.
