    Hi everyone. Is there anybody who can give me tips on how to make a good app icon? Here's mine for example. Is there any changes I can make?

    This entirely depends on your game. The icon should reveal the principal idea. What is it about? What are the goals? Normally you would put your main character in an action position and (if there is space) add some hints to the enemies (this can be world elements too). Also, it's always better to use high contrast colors, so the different elements stand out and the icon contrasts to all other apps. But again, it always should match with the style of your game.

    the icon has to be outstanding.. right now it looks very mundane and its bound to be overwhelmed by other good looking ones in the store... You need to do something about the ball and the background is just too colorful

    The background is too busy. Try simple background like this
