🎯 Capsule Image

Cauldron Caution capsule image

✅ Strengths

• Strong artistic quality: The character and the cauldron are well-rendered, with clean detailing and a visually appealing style.
• Immediate gameplay hint: The presence of the protagonist (Shyla) and the cauldron suggests the game’s magical theme and possibly some mechanics.
• Readable game title: The main game title stands out clearly, making it easy to identify even on smaller devices.

❌ Weaknesses

• Subtitle readability: The "Caution" subtitle blends too much into the background due to similar color tones, a different color or stronger contrast could improve clarity.
• Background visual noise: The icons in the background (the summoning cards ?) are not easily recognizable and add visual clutter without enhancing the capsule itself.
• Card gameplay: There’s a cropped card at the bottom-right, which is a subtle but important gameplay element (card-based mechanics), however its position and size make it nearly invisible and easy to miss (I noticed it after several hours).
• Duplicate cauldrons: Having two cauldrons in the same image may be visually redundant and could confuse the viewer, consider focusing on the main one.
• Overloaded composition: With two cauldrons, a background full of icons, and the main character, the image may be trying to convey too much at once — reducing the impact of key elements like the cards gameplay or the game’s mood.

💡 Suggestions

• Focus on a cleaner composition that highlights:
  • One main character : Shyla
  • One core gameplay element : The cauldron
  • A clearly visible card or two, possibly in hand or floating around to suggest gameplay
• Simplify the background or apply a blur/fade effect to reduce distraction
• Use contrast or outlines to make text elements like "Caution" more legible at all capsule sizes

I conducted several tests to demonstrate the potential impact:

But don’t take my word for it, here are some examples of similar games with the same composition (character(s), one key-gameplay element and cards along the game title) :
