No.02768 Mamesick Senior Tester Oct 11, 2008, 15:03 edited on: Oct 11, 2008, 15:08	Regression is 0.110u2 when: "0.110u2: Robiza and Mamesick fixed video hardware (draw_sprites, tilemap_draw etc.) in Vulcan Venture." Me and Robiza fixed the long-standing sprite/bg priority bug in level 7 and ending sequence. Looks like we broke this part of the intro where the sprites should be drawn over the layer and not under like in all the rest of the game. Weird. Attached a snap of how it should be.
No.04802 hap Developer Aug 13, 2009, 12:09	The current sprite-background (layer2) priority bugs for this game are visible in: - level 7, brain boss appears - level 7, mouth boss ("shoot it in the mouth") appears - ending sequence after the credits, the sunrise

No.11204 AWJ Developer Nov 1, 2014, 19:19	After using cheats to skip to stage 7 and the ending, I agree it's fixed.
No.11205 haynor666 Tester Nov 1, 2014, 19:25	I use cheats but didn't skip any stages :)
No.11207 Fujix Administrator Nov 2, 2014, 14:18	The sun graphic is not fixed for me in 0.155
No.11208 Stiletto Developer Nov 2, 2014, 15:28	That is correct Fujix, it should be fixed in 0.156. haynor666 is referring to the changes in GIT that AWJ just made.
