As a graphic designer, I'd highly recommend either A or B, actually, somewhere between the two. It's just so exciting and gives you a good idea of what the game's about.

I agree with others that a simpler background might work, like your "A" background. Having the light beams pointing in the same direction as he is launched works well too and the yellow in the beams is like a cannon burst.

In summary, "B" with "A"'s background is your best bet.
100% agree. B shows the object of play, the background in A is better (see Angry Birds, Dragon Vale, Hero Academy...)

Also do read that gamesbrief.com article someone posted.

A, easily. Good background, simple and large object in foreground, cute. You dont want anything for an icon with too much detail. Remember the icon needs to be easily identifiable when it's very small, which it will be.

Nice call on not going with the overused "God Rays" background.

Just curious, why did you write your website as "www_dot_cannoncat_dot_com" ?

I was really interested to learn about the game but overcomplicating your website address almost stopped me from wanting to. It looks like a good game but you want to be careful when you go ahead with proper marketing, you don't want to turn off potential customers by having them decode and retype your url.
