On the VB Discord channel, everyone was kind of in agreement with the sentiment that there was too much red in it. So I changed it back to what it was before, the night scene. Looking at it now, I have to agree that the entire screen was just red and overwhelming. But in making that all-red screen, I discovered a way to make the text black, so I guess it wasn't all for naught.

Since I have yet to find a way to change the text's palette, I just changed the palette it used. Since the same palette was being used by the foreground, I discarded a color and made it that way, to make black not be transparent. I just set the black color to high red's spot, so I couldn't use high red.

I have two more levels and an ending left to program in. I guess it's night scenes outside from now on.
