Menu Button

This is about the user interface element, for the in-game button of a door, see the "Buttons" section on Doors.

In Smash Hit, a Menu Button is used to perform functions, e.g. start from a checkpoint, menus, switch Game Modes, and more.

Play Menu
The Play Menu has an oval-shaped button with the text on it.

Generic Buttons
Generic Buttons (that are oval-shaped) are seen in various menus, e.g. the Options and More menus, as the More button, and as the button under the get premium menu. They are made to do various actions according to the text on them.

In version 0.9.0, the "get premium" button was oval-shaped, before the triangular button was introduced in the Soft Launch.

Buy Now Button
The Buy Now button, a special button is seen in the get premium menu. It contains two lines of text: "" on the first line and the price in the local currency (depends on your country) on the second. It uses a size pulsing effect to grab the player's attention.

Technical
It appears that the text is part of the button image. (There are compression artifacts that point to this.) The text for currency is then rendered on top of the button in the Smash Hit font.

Pause Menu buttons
These buttons are oval-shaped as well, and perform their described functions.

Templates
The template Smash Hit menu button uses the button format. By default, it looks like:

Slightly differently, the template Smash Hit menu button (external link) links to a web page. By default, it links to this page.

Rate Game
There are two buttons: "" takes you to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) on the Smash Hit app, requesting that you rate the game. "" takes you back to the Main Menu.

Help
Within the help menu, there is a support button going to smashhitgame.com/help.

Statistics (before 1.2.0)
Before Game Modes were introduced, the statistics button took up most of the bottom line. It was oval-shaped then.

Half-oval
These buttons, when placed side-by-side, fit together.

Game Modes Button
The Game Modes button is seen alongside the statistics button in all Main Menus for the Game Modes. It shows the current game mode, and pressing it allows the player to switch to other Game Modes.

Statistics Button
The Statistics button is seen alongside the Game Modes button in all Main Menus except for Versus Mode and Zen Mode. (The button is not useful: how do you compare two different players in the same round in Versus Mode, and why keep track of statistics in Zen Mode, when it's just for zen, respectively.).

Pressing it shows the player the statistics screen.

Checkpoint Buttons
Checkpoint buttons start the game from a checkpoint, or from the start if the button is pressed.

They also appear after you fail and the game automatically quits to the Main Menu.

Pause Button
This button has a "||" sign on it, signalling "Pause". It activates the Pause Menu. Not to be confused with the actual Pause Menu. Main Article: Pause Menu

Pentagonal
(Note: Credits, Bowling Easter Egg, Basketball Easter Egg and More Games only)

This button is shaped like a pentagon, more like a pointer. It contains a "hamburger menu" that takes you back to the Main Menu.
