Two simple backgrounds with random stars, one with small ones and one with bigger shining ones. For parallax scrolling. 2560*2560px.

Note: These are two big PNGs which at first sight might seem blank. They aren't. The dark nebula background is just not included. Put a dark background behind these layers, then you see the stars. :)

I would add sparks to them, but the built-in ones of GIMP just suck (they are pixelated).

To be honest, these are the only high quality starfields I could find. Thanks for this. Used it in my game here.

The download contains 2 blank png's.  Is there another link?

Oh, they aren't blank. They are just so big that you see stars only when you zoom in. A dark background helps, too. :) Or maybe your program can't read the file? I downloaded the file myself and see the stars without problems.

The huge resolution makes it perfect for ANY space game, it's non-intrusive, a nice backdrop and looks amazing in-game! I am using this for my game 'Space Marauder'. A top-down shooter made in HTML5 with Construct 2. Check it out:
