- Sabre's Tips #2 -

Multiple screens of sparse terrain (like, 1 tree and a maybe a rock) grow very boring, very fast. Try and keep every screen varied in what's there, but with a common theme. A flowery meadow, or a mushroom filled set of caves is much more enjoyable to look at then just tiles on their own. In fact, simply sticking a few clumps of grass against the side of a hill can make a important aesthetic difference.
