Although the final menu screen will end up looking very similar to this, this is more of a concept shot, as things like the profile picture with change, and details like that:

Let me know what you think. Better than the last screenshots?

Well, it looks much much better, i must say that!
But the question is if it suits the in-game graphics. xB

Yeah, it did. But if it doesnt match the in-game graphics, which im afraid it wont, then it will feel very odd and out-of-place.

You intentionally put up a shit screenshot so we'd all be like 'whoa' when you posted the real one.

Actually, that sounds about right, Phizzy. 
Still, this will certainly do.

Looks a bit like a Back Packer game...
Am I right that you are somewhat skilled with PS or alike, even though you are not a pixel artist? Well, then you don't have to care about the pixels, just use some photo source material and PS it to something good.
I don't get the lamps though, they seem a bit out of place to me...

Yeah I've read that Photoshop tutorial on making planets too, comes in pretty handy 
That 'Shyle' text could do with a bit of touching up - considering its the name of the game..

I actually may have to convert to the old screenshot. The reason being that my friend doing the graphics (the PS stuff) is very busy and it seems unlikely he's going to be able to create the graphics for all of the different planets.
In addition, as someone has said, the actual gameplay graphics are not PS, and as such it is almost jarring to switch from a menu screen to gameplay. Being that the whole game is mini-games, that is a damn large amount of graphics to be replacing.
I am unsure how to to proceed from here. Was the original screenshot, once I took out the gradients, that horrible? Can I get away with vector/minimalist graphics when I have the new title screens?

Go simple. Even default button objects can look good if you know what you're doing.

Compare your menu layout to other (commercial) games, then decide which one fits best for your game. I myself would think that having a few options below eachother would be good, especially if you add a simple effect like a horizontal bar following what option you're picking.
