Due to request we allowed ot have a colored background! Please make sure you read the new rules, they are finalized. Nothing will change anymore. There were too many ppl asking for it! Sorry to the others. A link to the rules can be found in the left menue!Before moaning… most rules are still same 🙂 Nothing has changed for the intro! Just for the game you might add a background if you like.If your code does not allow backgrounds, and you can’t change that without larger problems, submit the game as it is. The judges will be still fair and recognize that you love limitations.
