@Mike & John, thanks for posting LetterWriter: Oceans. I appreciate it!

@Garfield, the background is just made by parallax-scrolling a series of sprites in different layers. The “far” sprites move slowly, and the “near” sprites move quickly. It’s really quite simple; just track a single distance horizontally for your “camera”, and multiply that by different values to get different speeds of motion for the different layers.

That really is a well executed app. It’s obvious that a lot of time and thought has gone into it and it really shows.

Great work and I hope it does well.

Wow! Great!
I have a question. How the background has been made? How it is better to animate a background at menu?
