Space Shapes
Cognitive Learning Game for Kids
Application Design & Visual Storytelling · 2026
Space Shapes is a cognitive learning game for young kids, turning shape recognition into a playful, confidence-building journey through color, motion, and discovery. I was challenged to make a game that was very conscious of the intended user and their level of intellect based on age.
