I really liked the background on this. Was it procedural or just tiled?

I’m not sure of the specific interval, but I want to say it was about once every playfield height (in terms of ship ‘travel’) the game would stall for almost half a second and then continue. It was very consistent.

Strike that, it’s about every 2 – 2.5 seconds – just thought you’d like to know.

The only unpolished element appears to be the intro screen, everything else has a great look and feel.

Thank you. I noticed the bug too.

You are right background sliding is not very good, I may look at it this evening because I will “teach” game dev to a friend so we will certainly modify this code, it will be a good excuse.
