2045274 - Implement a "Game Over" interstitial state upon collision

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Homepage, enhancement)

Description

[Adina Petridean QA [:apetridean]]

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch Fenix and enter the LongFox micro-game.
2. Tap "tap to play!" to start the gameplay.
3. Crash the fox into an obstacle or wall to trigger a game-over condition.
4. Observe the screen transition immediately following the collision.

Expected behavior

Upon collision, the game should briefly enter a "Game Over" interstitial state before kicking the user back to the start.Visuals: A clear "Game Over" text overlay should appear on the screen.
Flow: Either hold the screen for a brief 1.5–2 seconds timer before auto-returning to the Main Menu, or present a static screen with interactive options such as [Try Again] and [Main Menu].

Actual behavior

The game instantly resets and teleports the user straight back to the Main Menu. There is no visual pause, no "Game Over" text, and no confirmation screen, making the transition feel extremely abrupt and jarring.
