Intial Background level 1

I used a fading colour gradient from back to green this is show progression to the play whilst them are playing through the level.

This is the background that I designed in gimp for the first level once zoomed the level is full of small dot to representing stars and planets in the far distance. This is the first version of the background so I could further add details to make the background more attractive, possible implementing the rule of thirds.

Here is the level background zoomed to see the first part of the level.

Possible things to add to the background:

• Planets
• Spaceships 
• Satellites 
• exploding stars/planets
• space station

Here is another version of the first level, I have included planets so that it creates more difficulty for the player.
