Hey, I really like making leaderboard layouts, and have made many well-received ones before. (check Freedom Planet, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Grapple Force Rena for examples).
Anyways, my idea is to make the background ripped assets from the menu. The dev has kindly provided these, I just added working transparency for the one in-front.
BACKGROUND:
Click advanced, set background to center and repeat to both. Check enable foreground.
FOREGROUND:
Click advanced, add movement speed, set to slow. Foreground position set to center. Tiling must be set to both.
As for layout colours. Maybe the text can be a pale whitish-blue, akin to the title text? I'll leave it at that for now.
Looks pretty good, but something looks off about it;
-
The foreground stars seem to have been set to fill the screen, rather than tile making it look blurry and blown up. Uncheck fit to screen, it's meant for hi-res images - this one is anything but.
-
It seems the background was set to move, rather than the foreground.
You can use the in-game menu space background as a reference, that's what my idea is based off of.
