I agree. It looks really good. What font are you using for the main menu?

@Traveler: Thanks I was thinking of something in the background, but I have no idea what yet.
In the game itself, there is a nebula...perhaps I could do similar here too?
I am also thinking of adding a couple of staggered columns of game wall tiles on the sides of the menu screens (o = wall tile):
The plan is to make these columns fill into the center of the screen and back again like a door to change between screens tooCode:o oo oo o o oo oo o o oo oo o o oo oo o
@Stoney: Thanks for the kind words I am using the font from here:

I downloaded it, and used Nitrogen's Font Studio to make 2 sized fonts for the game

Hey I've got an idea for ya... the background you could have a video flicker effect throw in some 'video static' and you could also have that nebula effect with an old TV scanline effect too. Make it look like a probe video feed. You can combine it with your columns idea too.
I suppose anything would do. I think my vote would go to sort of an artistic visualization of a level, like for example how you did the header on your website. The title perhaps could be composed of those gray blocks.
Also, I would not align the menu like that, unless there is a good reason for it of course, such as an image that is placed next to it and the menu is aligned to follow a pattern to match the image. Centered alignment is usually the best way to go.
Thanks WILL and Traveler for the ideas
I will see what I can come up with
I WILL (pun intended!) change the heading to more closely match the website header though - it would look better LOL
cheers,
