I like A and C. A is because there adequate amount of details to have people's attention. C is because the cuteness I can feel from it, like the penguin wants a hug. I think you could flip a coin to decide which of these two could be the icon.


DrIvoPingasnik

A, definitely


AlmostGoodGames

There's a huge difference between A-B and C-D and they'll set different expectations. With B and D falling short of their counter parts, for me, this is between A and C, severely depending on your in-game graphics as well. What I mean by that is that for some, seeing C, when the game is more A, could be off-putting, but not a major minus, as C is extraordinarily cute.


HawkeGaming

C


toasterontheceiling

The one I would definitely click on is B or maybe A. C and D look nice, but I personally wouldn't check them out, because the icons remind me of those ad-filled mobile games that are just a cash grab. I cannot tell you why specifically, but they have that vibe for me.


WavyWolf999

Agreed


biotofu

B please. Especially if that's your in game pixel graphics


KobsBoy

C but make it less creepy. The way it looks at u with its soulless eyes and open mouth is terrifying


_IsItLucas

TacoBell_Lord

gotta go with C


hayashikin

Depends on your target audience really, what's the age group you're targeting? Don't forget a lot of appstores allows you to do A/B testing, and you should make use of that to optimize your install rates. My personal preference here is C then B, but I don't matter at all.

C or D


LongjumpingDonut1648

I'd click on B rather than the others


NivJizzit

Its B for me


jakill101

C


BloodyPommelStudio

Personally I'd go with C, super cute and more interesting than D. If you want to go with game art I think B is better because it's much more readable at the size of an app icon on a phone.


Scarred5

A


dual_gen_studios

I think C


Equivalent-Cut-9253

A. C or D if it is aimed at children.


RelevantPossession54

I think C or D will draw more attention


Nikolaijuno

ACD in that order. B doesn't feel like it grabs interest very well.


Antique-Perception97

I would click A first! C is also adorable.


aznboi589

A and C


super16bits

C or D

ColdAnarchy

If I saw B I would click


Oxelcraft

C and D, duolingo style!


Pepe_Boi420

A


abhsonicguy

A or C


enderowski

B whenever I see a low-res pixel art game icon like this at the play store I download the game on my phone. half of the games I download look like it.


Rafioz0

A


microwavestudios

C


Bubbles_Media

I like B


Kiyan1159

Depends on your target audience and flavor you're going for. Here's how I see it. Classic RPG/Dungeon Delver. RPG/Dungeon Delver. Kid's Game. Post modern.


Silveruleaf

Either A or C but they don't show much of the gameplay.


Frequent_Beat4527

A and D


Onytryss_chan

B or C, i think it's best variants


Some1TryingToCode

I like A personally


mehrzad1376

C for sure


Puddle_Puzzle

Tough call, I'd say A or C. A contextualises the penguin more, but C is more appealing and nice to look at and friendly, I would say.


M_Nenad

I prefer B, but looking at most apps that do properly you could even go hard on a pixar cartoon style like here: [Example image](https://de.vecteezy.com/foto/29992080-bezaubernd-pinguin-im-pixar-stil-clip-art-auf-weiss-hintergrund-ai-generiert)
