about.
Space Tapper* needed promotional content to launch their new character skin feature to the gaming community. The challenge? Basic 2D rocket assets that lacked visual impact and failed to communicate the excitement behind customization. The solution required transforming these static designs into something that would capture attention and drive genuine interest in the feature.
Rather than create a traditional product demonstration, I designed the video as an immersive interface experience. By positioning viewers inside a futuristic HUD selection system, the animation made skin selection feel like part of the gameplay itself, not just a menu option.
This approach elevated the perceived value of the feature and created anticipation for the actual gaming experience. The result was a promotional piece that enhanced product appeal while maintaining entertainment value.
