Pretty neat animation, but I can sorta see a slow down between the loops. seems like the plane goes faster over the small shrubs, then slow when it hits the big one...
39 colours is because of the shadow. I'm guessing it would be about 30 without it, which isn't all that bad considering it's both a sprite and a background.
