The perspective doesn't really seem right for this? If you're strictly traveling to the right, depth should be irrelevant. It might be interesting to provide a meter of sorts to show you how far you have to go to get to the next station, though.

Yeah, the implication is that you'd be traveling into the screen in addition to the right. I'm not sure how it will look, but the way i'm imagining it I think it might be cool. On Mar 29, 2015 2:28 PM, "Brian Erikson" notifications@github.com wrote:

Could you somehow script the size of the station sprite depending on where the player's ship is on the screen? Like, the station is only 10% of its size when it first appears on screen, but gradually resizes as you approach it?

@terpin, yes! that's exactly what I had in mind. We'll keep this up as another post-v1.0.0 enhancement to try out if we have time.
