Hello all. I'm making a 2D space game for my programming class and I'm burned out after making it... Can you guys please list cool ideas that would make the graphics better? Here's some links to earlier versions of the game, but I haven't frapped the most recent.
Smoke FX in my game.
It took me a couple days to make that

but I stopped there because my head hurt

Thanks in advance.
