No offense but the boxart looks crazy generic to me. Just looks like some other kiddie game with paint guns.

How many other games have paint guns on the cover?


I mean there are tons of paintball shovelware but that wasn't my point.  My point was that it just looks like another toy gun game.

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

How many paintball games are there? How many toy gun games are there?

How many of these have squids?

It will definitely stand out from the other games.
And yes! i like how the ink is near the Wii U logo at the top =D

Update: I'm quite liking this now. The first look was a bit iffy for me, but I think it accurately portrays the tone of the game and I really like that the ink is near the logo at the top. There are a few things that I would personally change, like the abundance of blue/orange (I think I would've gone with some more pink/green to even things out, but I see why they didn't do that) but other than that, it's great!

For some reason, I'm really into box art. I like game covers to look as cool as the games themselves. Though it hardly has an effect on how good the game actually is, lol.

I already know the game isn't for me BUT they could've made an appealing boxart, nonetheless. IMO the way it looks now will detract from sales instead of attracting them. Way too much noise on there.

People actually buy games based purely off the box-art?

People won't notice the squids at first glance on a tiny box.  They will just see kids and colors and keep walking.

That doesn't answer my questions.

Well that is my point so that is the answer you are getting.  Stop focusing on the specifics of what I said, and realize that what I mean is that it looks like just another colorful kiddie game.
