Hey, guys.
Made simple mockup.
It doesn't look so good in my opiniion. I think its something about colors/saturation. Tried to play with Saturation/Brighness levels but no good results.

Looks great! But to make it better in my opinion is to add some colors and a background. It would be nice if your dirt starts brown and as it goes down becomes blue-ish. Also above your platform you only have green, add more colors, red, yellow, brown(like a tree or a dirt tile or some colorful flowers). Also if you have a background with more things in it :p like mountains or a forest, i am 100% sure that your pictures will get much more beautiful!

The gradient isn't really helping, and is also responsible for the mockup having 88 colours (http://akira.hopto.org/pj/?input=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F5PKtgPd.png). It also messed with the colours of the middle coin.
As far as colours go, I think the colours overall are a bit too light. The main grass colour and the sky colour are very similar except for hue. I noticed desaturating the sky and increasing its value makes the mockup read better.
As a last thing, the slime seems to be too far down.

Wow, thanks, dude.
I want this dirt to be blue-ish :3
Yeah, tried to add some flowers and so on - defently it helped.
I am not sure how to add background mountains and make it look nice. Need to spend more time i think

I added gradient because of the desperation.
You are totally right about lightness and sky.
Thats what I have after fixing. Looks way more better imho.
