    If you mean a parallax background, try this that I made:

    When i made the jetpack template i used static backgrounds and had a big scene where the hero kept resetting back this means you can keep count of how many times the hero reaches the end so you could change the background art to make it look like your progressing.



    You can see at the 30 sec mark the level increases, all it is is resetting the hero back to the start of the scene.

    You can use the move behavior. But if you want create a jetpack joyride gamestyle, it's better if you give at the plaver the control camera behavior, and the background is static.
