I like this kind of simplistic Neon/glowing graphics and would like to be able to do something similar for my games in the future. But I'm mainly a programmer / game designer so I don't have a lot of previous talent for visual arts. Is these kind of glow effects difficult to create? How did you create the assets for this game, if you are willing to share? Do you have any resources or general links for learning?

try a technique for the neon effect:
1) make the desired shape in white, a little bit tinted with the shade you want to have
2) duplicate the shape in another layer
3) tint it really the desired shape
4) apply a Gaussian blur to this layer.
(you can repeat 2) 3) 4) with more or less opacity)
