In plain English

The Nieobie Game Icon Pack is a collection of more than 570 icons drawn in a single rounded visual style. The author describes them all as having fully rounded corners with no sharp edges anywhere, which gives the set a consistent soft look suitable for game UIs and similar visual work. The pack is provided as PNG files at 64, 128, and 256 pixel sizes, and also as SVG so they can scale to any size without losing quality. The icons are grouped into seven categories: UI, Media and Technology, Editor Tools, Shapes and Symbol, Game, Items, and Nature and Food. The README includes a preview image showing a large grid of the icons at once. The author notes that the pack is continuously updated and invites users to request new icons by opening an Issue on GitHub. Downloads are available from the Releases section on the right side of the GitHub page or from the author's itch.io page at nieobie.itch.io/free-icons. The license terms allow both personal and commercial use with no attribution required. The two restrictions are that you cannot resell the icon pack directly and you cannot resell modified versions of the icon pack. In other words, you can use the icons in your own games and products freely, but you cannot turn around and sell the icons themselves as your own pack.
