Josh,
I uploaded bgtest2.zip to the files section, under background-test. I know it's not what you are looking for, but I was having some fun playing around with parallax, lighting, and different fore-ground an mid-ground layers.
As it is, it's not very good, but I think there is potential in there for something that could be cool. I din't do a very good job placing the lights, I was really just looking to see how the shaders were responding to the lights, and to see how things looked when they were in areas of low light.
Anyway.. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Do you have any examples of games that have the feel you are looking for?
Thanks,
Striker
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I like all the elements. I like the overlays to background and foreground. The lighting needs a bit of work but would have to change that to match the levels. The spicerex looks pretty good as well.
I suppose I have had a NES Mario or Megaman in my head...but I really like the look of the test levels so I would like to go with this sort of look and have the level layout similar to an old platformer.

Another game that I think has a good mix of styles is Terraria
