Need help deciding. Which color ending screen do you like best? Green, blue, or red?

Omg i'm almost there.
Feedback is much appreciated! Also on my last post.. like the green, blue or red screen for ending better?
The new list I need to fix:
Skulls no longer attach to you. They die but hurt you when you collide.
You now have to be facing monsters to bite them. If they're too high and they hit your nose, they can still hurt you.
It will reset your lives to 5 if you pass every screen. This helps the problem that if you have one life, start a new screen and the timer takes it away.. it wont be so cheap.

The new list I need to fix:
When adding score from eating runners.. it doesn't always update. I think this is from timer always decreasing/updating and health diminishing/updating all at the same time.SFX / Music (Got almost everything. Just need an ending theme and a few more sfx)Up the difficulty on bosses slightly.Play sfx when start game.Bump sound still plays even though I have StopSound before death screen.Some slow down (doesn't really bother me but might find a work around NOTE: Limit spikes)Random monster spawn is kind of wacky in higher levels.Shark health doesn’t update very well. Find a solution.

I added one more color. Green, blue, or red now?
I'm not sure if i'm changing the song now. See the thing is each level is only 60 seconds. Part A plays .. By the time it gets to part B it's down to 36 seconds left. Once Part B is finished and A starts again there's only 12 seconds left. Then goes into the boss theme. Don't think I need to go to a whole new part with little time left. Especially from the original song my buddy made.. it slows down and solos.. slowing down the music would ruin the pace I think and I don't wan't to change his composition. You know?

Got some work done over the weekend. Feeling good about it.
Instead of picking between the blue, red, and green win screens. I decided to go with it alternating depending on your score. I liked them all.
3 things lefts on my check list.. and I believe i'm pretty much there! Excited and sad my first game will be over.
Going to do some cartridge art and one more secret for this project. Earliest scenario for everything to be done is the end of January.

So testing my game on 3 different computers I noticed some of the colors didn't blend because they were too similar and too basic. Why does mapper 30 look so weird sometimes? So today I did a lot of background sprite upgrade work. I'm very happy with it. Here's a taste (click to enlarge):
Also gave the master a black smile because the white smile meshed with his skin too much.
Updated the rom (on first post and post 42) to have these background sprites and updated the pictures on original post.

Think I might mess around in the gym file for your game you let me look through, see how close I can get the Title theme to the original, since I feel it’s missing the woodwind lead vibe, but the main theme is pretty much a perfect conversion, idk I have midterms tomorrow and need to work on some originals aswell but since I got a 3 day weekend I’m sure I will have time

Dude that would be siiiiiiick!
I can send you the updated ftm file in the morning when I get to my computer. Since it has all my updated sfx, a new song, and everything. Don’t know if there’s a way to copy tracks and put them on another ftm or not.. I’ll private message you around 8am-ish.

Holy moly. @Logana said he was going to spruce up my tracks for me, but little did I know he was going to spruce them to **A MILLION**. He took what I did on FamiTracker and made it so much better. Thanks so much! I got chills listening to what you did. Super incredibly talented! His music is now in the updated rom above and first post! P.S. Thanks for making a whole new track for the game over screen that didn't have anything before!
Three things I gotta change with the music file in my game now:
1. The only thing I wasn't too sure about is the bleepy sound he put over the red shark melody before the game over continue screen. That's no problem though. Just remove that. Everything else he did kicks my butt so hard in the best way possible.
2. Now when you press start on the continue screen it has a graphic glitch on next screen 50% of the time. Weird how adding a music file can do that. BUT also easy fix. I'll make a buffer screen between the continue screen and the level you continue to.
3. When you bite the boss projectile it interrupts Logana's incredible melody he did on the boss theme. Going to edit the sfx to fix that. Want to be able to hear the music as much as possible since it's soooooo good!
So just when I thought I was almost done.. I got a whole new list of things to do! Here is the new to do list:

So just when I thought I was almost done.. I got a whole new list of things to do! Here is the new to do list:
Fix the 3 issues in the yellow list.Add credits screen. So many people helped me in this forum. I need to add one now.Boss weapon goes through edge of screen even though I have "destroy me" on edge collision. Look into it.Maybe add black skulls to boss level to change it up.Shark animation stopped after attack sometimes. (Go back to last?)Operation TSR Add one moreOperation COM & C B BA (in progress)Logo intro? (In progress)Add new music files and sort songs.Possibly have health update fasterDestroy all monsters after boss dies (because of warp glitch).And the big one.. fix the random monster spawn. Use screen flags for different screens. Gradually increase difficulty. Sometimes it spawns a millions skulls. Fix it. (Currently have 3 or 4 set up)

You were a big part of getting my shark mechanics to work whether you know it or not hahah. That coding you provided for the action state on one of my posts when I was asking for help is what I was trying to get work for him. If you change your handle or want me to put something else down for your name, just let me know
