The homepage is design-cancer. Let's discuss why.

I logged out to post this, so this is what everyone sees generally. Sheepy, I'm not making this to !@#$, I generally want to help you.

Let's discuss why this is terrible.

  1. You're using at least a dozen different fonts, styles, and sizes. Limit yourself to one font (two at absolute most), and bold/not bold. Two sizes would also be acceptable
  2. Remove the Like Us on Facebook and Discord options, and include them as links. They take up too much screen space and most people don't give a shit before they play your game.
  3. The start playing/login buttons should be centered, not split vertically. Removing the two sidebars (discord/facebook image) will solve this.
  4. Remove the damn ad at the bottom of the screen if it makes up less than 5% of your revenue. Jesus, this isn't 2005. Move the app-store banners here instead.
  5. This isn't a design decision, but I would update your description of the game up top with a more accurate picture of what your game actually is. It would be more interesting than a meaningless marketing-blurb.

Bottom banner should be "click on the moving emoji and win an iPad" and " find hot singles in your area"

That gets my attention more than app-store banners. Damn app store might cost me money or worse. I might end up installing the wrong app, sapping my phone of much needed storage and memory.

I like @ForgotPants suggested layout, but I'd advocate removing the fb and discord areas altogether. if you're hellbent on keeping them, use smaller static buttons instead. You'll let the page load quicker and not have it be atrocious to look at.
