Process of making this game
Here is in short the proces of creating this game.
Sketch
For the gameover screen i wanted some goofy like something out of a cartoon
Sharpen the lines
When the sketch was made and satisfied i started to draw it over with a more accurete line drawing to give it a cleaner look.
Final result
In this stage i used the colours of the character design and shading to finalize the gameover character.

Sketch fav icon
I started with a raw sketch how the game logo should look like. I wanted to use the cat as a mascotte inside of a barrel i got inspired by the logo sonic the hedgehog.
Fav icon
The fav icon has to be easy to reconize on smaller sizes so i made the lines thicker and stripped some elements
Logo
The logo is a more detailed version of the fav icon but still similar.
