@pstudio: thanks mate I'm not sure if the tunnel speed will change, but the red rectangles in the tunnel will end up being blocks and other stuff that stick up and you have to avoid or get destroyed. Oh, and there will be less red blocks in the beginning but that will increase as time/levels increase

@dazappa: I guess it is hard to tell from afar that they are asteroids To be honest, I am drawing more of the asteroids than I need to right now, and this extra drawing is not helping. It causes more glowing on them and might even slow things down! I am working on the frame rate issues along with the rest of the game...

Thanks for trying it guys!

cheers,
Paul
