I am remaking The Classic Zombeh Game I recently failed on and one thing I want to improve is the menu! The last one felt cluttered and limited... So here are my ideas for a menu and if anyone has any ideas of a very interactive yet not-so-cluttered menus please tell me!
1. A basic menu with faded out options and when Up/Down is pressed the buttons fade in/out...
2. A more advanced menu with a ")" type shape on the side showing the different options. And a zombie's arm points to the options when you select them

haha i combined them the menu is now controlled by a mouse but a zombie arm follows the movements... so its similar to option 2 but not the same and the map/gametypes/extras screens are going to use option 1
