48 pixel art parallax backgrounds in one style: 12 scenes (meadow, pine forest, mountains, desert, ocean, jungle, city, castle, winter, haunted graveyard, volcano, sky islands), each at dawn, day, sunset and night. Every background is 6 to 7 layers that repeat left to right without a seam, ready to scroll behind a platformer, runner or shooter.

What you get

• 48 backgrounds = 12 scenes x 4 times of day, 300 layer images.
• 320x180 view at 1x (20 x 11 tiles of 16 px). Every layer is 640x180, two screens wide, so the near layers repeat less.
• Scaled by whole numbers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x (1280x720) and 6x (1920x1080), always sharp.
• Animated layers: the ocean's sea with sun and moon glitter (8 frames), the volcano's lava river (8 frames), twinkling stars in every night sky (4 frames). Clouds and mist drift on their own.
• Lit windows at night in the city, the castle village and the haunted manor.
• Every background as one merged picture too (320x180 view at 1x, 2x, 4x, 6x, plus the full 640 strip) for menus, title screens and visual novels.
• Godot 4.3+ project: one Parallax2D scene per background (factors, repeat size and autoscroll set), and a demo that scrolls them (arrow keys change background and speed). Every scene was loaded in Godot 4.7.2 by the build.
• viewer.html: open it in a browser and scroll through all 48 with their parallax.
• backgrounds.json: every layer's file, parallax factor, autoscroll speed, frames, fps, opacity and order, for any engine.

Why these

• One style across 12 places and 4 times of day: a level can go from dawn to night, or from the meadow to the mountains, without the art changing style.
• Depth that reads: far layers fade into the horizon haze, near layers are darker, and the light comes from the sun or moon (rims on the lit side), so the layers always separate when they move.
• Proven seamless: the build checks every layer's wrap seam, that no background has holes, and that no two files are the same.
• The README lists every scene's layers with their factors, and how to set them up in Godot, Unity and GameMaker.

What it does not include

No tilesets, characters or foreground platforms (the platformer screenshot uses our Platformer Tileset, sold separately), no PSD or Aseprite files, no vertical (tall) backgrounds, no caves or interiors.

How it was made

Every layer is drawn by code (Python): wrapped mountain, hill and dune profiles, layered firs, leafy trees, buildings with window grids, puff clouds and cloud banks, coloured by one model that grades each scene by the time of day and fades it into the haze by distance. No image generator, no third-party art. The code was written with AI-assisted tools, which is why the page is tagged AI Assisted.
