Known issues:
Sprite/tilemap prioritisation on implimented at a basic level.
If Sonic is behind the tilemap then all sprites in the central playfield appear behind (doesn't affect score etc)
Particularly noticable on Stage 1 Act 2 as when Sonic is in water his top half disappears.
I will look to overcome this in the final release by using a Layer 2 overlay.
