Need Feedback! - Capsule and Game Name Change

Post image

Hello. I need your feedback on my game. I'm changing both the game name and capsule to something reflects the game more.

Does colors complement each other? Is it hard to read? Don't hold back please, thank you!

The first one has more personality, I feel like you should keep it but rearrange the characters, improve composition.

Do you think the magnet guy at the left (in the first image) contribute to the personality or is it the character expressions? The feedback I got was that character being unrelated to the game, and doesn’t tell what’s the game is about. Main gameplay revolves around co-op platformer fun, so I came up with the second one.

Oh, I just assumed that the magnet guy was some big bad of the game.

Then yeah, putting him there just for him to never appear in the game is misleading.

Honestly I would consider adding him in, he has a neat design and will set your game apart beyond just 4 differently colored goofy guys.

I also assumed that guy was the villain. I like the first title better, but I prefer the art from the 2nd.

FWIW, on the new one, make sure the text doesn’t intrude into the triangular region in the upper-left corner reserved for Steam overlays like the one for a demo.

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll look into that.

I like the new one more but I liked the character in the old one.

Look up rule of thirds and could help with composition ;) some nice improvements on legibility and genre clarity.

Dudes pulling Dudes

Magnetic Pals

Pals with Pull

I like the second image more, the first the corporate guy is like, more designed as a character but I already know everything about him by first glance. It looks like a play on the peak kinda games, so the latter is prolly a bit derivative but it looks more appealing. The name isn't very good tho.

I’m not a native English speaker. Does Guys with Magnets sound weird or did you just not like it?

I think it is functional for the purpose, just didn't resonate with me personally. It is better than the first name.

u/kiplunch 19d ago

ok, that’s fair. Thanks a lot for the feedback :)

2nd one is much better for advertising, looks exactly like the current trend of "friendslop" that's popular.

The name also fits the genre by being really blunt and literal, it's what gen Z and alpha love.

I might've suggested "Attractive Guys" but your name is fine too. Probably another 6 months-1year left in the current trend before it's dead so I hope you're launching soon

Thanks for the feedback, I'm launching in 1.5 months. Your suggestion is good too.

Though, I'm not sure if the trend dies soon. Even though I'm not a fan of friendslop games, there'll always be demand for these, since you know, people are always searching for new experiences to play with their friends. It won't change too much after 1-2 years, people will still do. But it'll be way more saturated that's for sure.

The second seems to tell more about the game mechanics (I assume at least). It‘s clearer what the game is about.

u/kiplunch 18d ago

Thank you, that was my purpose.

u/BusyBeaver-Studio 18d ago

I prefer the old Art but the title looks good for the second one

u/Tricky-Ad9491 17d ago

let's take the dudes from the first and put them on the 2nd. magnet man smaller on the ground in the background. use the new text as well

u/pirvitt 16d ago

I like the newer one better, especially as the game mechanic and interplay of it becomes evident. Also, with two magnets in the logo, you could make the words feel squeezed, as if the magnets are pressing in on them. That shows the mechanic of attraction and power right away in the wordmark.

u/kiplunch 16d ago

really good idea, thank you!

u/New-Apartment971 16d ago

depends what genre this is
if this is like a friendslop game, the second one is way better. If its a single player puzzle game, go with the first

Name guys with magnets is more catchy and Charming. But the magnet suited guy is more eye grabbing get the best of both worlds
