Takeaways: The way the pages are categorised on the left side and the rest of the information are introduced on the right hand side.
To keep the consistency between the pause screen, the same pop out layout was used. However, The side bar (left side) with little boxes that contains titled information is created. On the right hand side, it has a lighter background compared to the pause screen as information will be written therefore the background was designed to not clash with the text that will be incorporated.
Text are added on the left side that contains the main heading. On the right side, contains that information related to the chosen heading.
Note: Each Design has a different "selected colour", depending on the heading the player has currently chosen.
Similar to level 1, the layout was kept the same to the level 2 pause screen. This is to attain consistency in the design of the pause screen and its components. However, the images in the level 2 game overview is different to level 1. This is to add uniqueness to the page and relatability to the current level but some pages contains the same information for both levels.

- The buffs were replaced with statistics of the weapons because from the user testing, it was more appropriate in the player guide. Since there was a lot of weapons, the
levelling up
page was also removed and replaced with aweapons continued
page as the information was merged with thehow to win
page.
- There was an error with the final boss for level 1. The enemy image is updated to the correct png file.
