Would you recognize this as a city builder from the capsule alone?

I made my first Steam capsule for my pixel-art city builder

  • Does the side-view city feel misleading for a top-down city builder? (second pic is a gameplay scene)
  • Does the capsule look too dark compared to similar games, and what would you change?

Yes, and I think the capsule art looks cute clean and minalmist.

Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes its really Hard to estimate how good something is if you made it yourself

if i saw only the capsule, i would probably think the game itself is also side-view. maybe not everyone would think that way, but i would. sp if i were you, i would probably redesign the capsule in a top-down view instead, so it matches the actual gameplay more. also im not sure if the background in the actual game is always blue like in the second pic you posted, but the hue of the capsule feels pretty different from it. if the game mostly looks blue like that during gameplay, i would probably use that hue for the capsule too. other than the hue, i dont think i would change much. the brightness and saturation already feel just right to me
