Thank you for those multiple tutorial, that help us a lot :)

but is increasing the clock really the best solution to increase the speed of the background image and of the animations of the runner? I thought that by increasing the clock speed the fps cap increases too, and it would not really make much sense to run the game at 30fps in the beginning and at 120fps+ later, right? we should have a stable fps rate of like 60, not connected to the current speed of the game.

Mirror the first background about the y axis. That will smooth that transition.
