The Great Colour Question: Do you like non-black backgrounds
I like to use them here and there, but I avoid them if I want the caves to have a 'classic' feel. I also find it works best with dark colours - brown, grey, red, etc...

Well...the BG's not too bad, but I'm not a big fan of the border color - It just kind of ruins that "darkness at the end of the screen" feeling.
[Edit] Now that I look at it more, it kind of makes the cave look like it's underwater!

Boulders are round.
Fireflies are square.

I picked 'No', because most of the times I find it ugly, and it may disturb the character of the cave set by the usual 3 colours.
Also in my own games I hardly use any background/border other than black. Only for Santa's Boulder Dash Party I've used a few blue background colors to get an impression of daylight.
Bordercolors I would never use unless it's black or the same as the bg color.
[Edit] The underwater-look is a nice idea. Or even better when combined with the Atlantis graphics set, or the new underwater-graphics set that I'm still planning to release some day....

I voted 'no' - the black background lets you concentrate on the important things that aren't black. Also, traditionally Arcade games had black backgrounds (Space Invaders, Pacman)... but now i'm showing my age

I voted 'no' too, I really prefer the black backgrounds too...
