MODERATORS
Agreed. The app looks pretty weird / creepy without context on the home screen.
It gives me clown vibes. But it’s better than the current one.
Main takeaway: I like it a lot, greatly prefer it over the current one.
Minor suggestions:
Perhaps scale down the tongue. It’s a bit overwhelming.
I think the eyes should be a different colour, they’re a bit close to the background which with them them so big makes the eyes blend in. Typically you want eyes to be …well… eyecatching! Though I’m not sure what to suggest as you don’t want too many colours on the icon.
Personally I prefer flatter designs, but I don’t really mind a more skeuomorphic design.
Also I am not a designer, so ignore me with my blessing haha
Some feedback intended to be constructive, thanks for contributing to the process!

The gradient on the mouse is a bit too much for me. I would prefer it to look flatter. Compared to the look of most modern app icons, it’s just too 3D for my brain.

I like the tongue sticking out and the eyes, but my suggestion would be to slightly tone them down. Maybe make them smaller in size (eyes in particular)?

My personal preference is that the mouse take up a little more space in the icon, but that’s just nitpicking.
FYI it’s a Lemming
Ah, a that makes sense. That being said though, I would personally recommend drastically scaling down the ears for a more lemming like look.
Interesting take! Personally, I’m looking to make one similar to that but more cartoony… more like the 
Looks nice!
This brilliant and pushes a new icon design standard. I love it as is 🙌
