My two cents regarding the new background:
The resolution of certain objects in the background is inconsistent, which leaves a unprofessional and lazy impression.
I explain further and more clearly:
The YI final boss moon and clouds are resized to be 2x as big as their original size, while the rest is at a 1x resolution. My advice to improve this would be that you either shrink the moon and the clouds back to a 1x resolution or to smoothen out the rough pixels of the resized assets to make them fit in with the rest of the background.
I assume the foreground is still far from finish or just probably a placeholder. If not, you should add in more variety to those tiles to make the level look more interesting like windows, thrusters and screws.
Also, as a side note, be careful with that health bar. When it's getting big (or bigger than the preview), it could easily cover a good chunk of the screen. Either build the level with the health bar in mind or make it a little bit transparent, so you can still see something behind it. Otherwise it could obscure something the player needs to see.
