Not AI-generated images: every layer is drawn shape by shape by code, then checked by hand.
12 side-scrolling parallax backgrounds with an Asian fantasy theme, each one in 3 times of day. The layout stays exactly the same, only the light, colors, lamps and sky change, so you can switch day/dusk/night in the middle of a level.
