Hello, We are a small team of 2 , me the programmer and my wife(who is an artist and has excellent photoshop skills). I would like your guys feedback on the game icon. You can check out our game details. The game is called 'Chase & Hunt' and is available on the App Store. App thread : http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=273861 Regards, Ganesh
Look at your icon on the left column where its your forum avatar. In that size the details in the icon are too small to see. Yet on a device your icon will show even smaller than that. Try an icon that is ONLY the fox face.
I read a Gamasutra article recently that had five tips for creating a stand out Game icon. If you are not already reading Gamasutra I recommend you check the site regularly for invaluable knowledge about Game Development. As markofjohnson said, you need to remember that your icon is going to be physically very small on device, even though the actual resolution of the icon for itunes is quite large. Avoid fine details (even most shading is lost).
Thanks Thanks very informative and valuable feedback. Will look to improve the icon in the next patch.
Interesting.. I recall many iOS users got irritated when OpenFeint had their "greenleaf" icon on the corners like Zynga here too, saying it practically "swallows up" the icon itself.
