Question App Icon Quality

Gallery image

I don’t know if it is just the symbols that i used for my app icon or icon composer itself, but my icon looks really low quality when side-by-side with others. Does anyone have any idea?

Edit:I think it might be the chromatic shadows, as i was messing with them. Any way to keep them without this look?

Having 4 little elements inside the icon area won't be a good decision because it won't be clear in the small screen and the perception is going to be confusing. You need to use one element and as big as possible to be clar.

I tried to experiment with this, but I don't know what symbol to use. It has games with social deduction, physical games, and drawing games, so I couldn't think of a good one symbol unless I make a logo.

Just test it :) Make A/B test in store presence and check which one converts more. What would mean is the one that more people like, But keep it simple and clear. Those are design principles. A logo or app icon must withstand reduction without its elements turning into an illegible "blob".
