Abstract
Combine a number of backgrounds to create a parallax effect. Have a player object that can move up and down. If the player object isn’t being moved, slowly move it toward the middle. When moving up or down, rotate the sprite in the direction it’s moving. Base the parallax on the player’s y position.
