The glow in the night version looks unnatural, since moon light can't give that type of effects. Very awesome stages.

Aaahaa! That's what you've been doing! Bravo, my friend.

Looks awesome downloading now. Wish people would stop using Jpgs it ruins the picture quality.

That was intentional, I don't remember why though.

Lol thanks man, finally got some free time. I actually finished this like a week ago with a few other stages. It's just that i'm so busy with real life stuff.

Wish people would stop using Jpgs it ruins the picture quality.

What the hell!? That was .PNG a while ago! Thanks for pointing that out.

Cybaster's comments :
- Uncropped sprites in the SFF.
- RGB method everywhere, which doesn't make sense when the end product ends up being 90% blue.
- This causes lag : stage runs at 22fps for me.
- No depth at all because of lack of delta.
- Only blue. Blue everywhere. I want contrast somewhere !
- Not much happening beside some glow and water (?) moving slightly.
- Speaking of which, the glow around the full background is too thick and overall ugly.
- The basic coding is fine (well, my program generated it ), the BlackJack trick is coded fine.
- Lightning disappears too slowly. Moon disappearing is... interesting (even though it doesn't make much
sense).

ExShadow's comments :
+ Good concept idea, however your lack of experience is showing.
- Hardly any depth in the stage, you could have applied different deltas to the various layers.
- Very blurry effects.
- Uncropped sprites, caused lower FPS.  Remember to crop your damn sprites.
- The camera movement is pretty bad. For characters with high jump they reached the top of the screen before
they reached the top of the stage. You should have used a lower floor tension and higher vertical follow.
- Afterimages left below the floor, because of no main background or use of mask = 0.

Tamez' comments :
- Low FPS for me (25-30), probably due to uncropped sprites. 
- Water could have been made more visible.
