Parallax Background

Have you already tried adding parallax backgrounds to your endless runner, side-scrolling shooter, or platformer?

If your answer is yes, then you know how much pain it is!

You have to figure out how to position your backgrounds/foregrounds correctly,

... how to apply parallax effects from the bottom of the layout (floating mountains ? Been there!),

... how to make backgrounds wrap around the screen as the player scrolls in a random direction,

... and most of the time you will rage-quit after dealing with lots of layers, each with its own parallax value.

Using this addon, you can have layered backgrounds with parallax effect in no time.
