Concept: Blur - Multiple senses of scale gave this one a clever feel, but the lack of detail kept it from really sucking me in. Even some scattered stars in the backdrop or some further detail on the moon or floor would have improved the overall picture. Great concept, but left me wanting more, particularly with the level of detail given the earth.
Playability: Stylez75 - The layout and art style instantly transported me to an old x86-era adventure game, and I could see a fun scene where you had to get from the station to the rover on the cliff, and your sprite was only a couple pixels. Made me smile.
Artistic Execution: Racoon - The art style was perfect for the scene, and only didn't also take playability due to the very compact feel (and thus few walkable areas). The feel of the scene is wonderfully tiny and quaint, and the finer details such as smoke from the chimney and clothes on the line that really bring it alive and give it a life the other entries lack.

Great entries from everyone all around!

Concept: blur - it's a clever concept that fits the theme well. Also, really nostalgic!
Playability: Stylez75 - looks right out of an 80s Sierra game
Artistic Execution: lorenzo - because of the lovely play of B&W (not that it's anything new with lorenzo, but it never ceases to impress me!)

Concept: blur. This background has a fantastic sense of scale. It could use a few more details in some areas, but it really gives you the idea you're in space and the vastness of it.

Playability: Racoon. This background is really fitting for an adventure game: lots of things to interact with, clear walkable areas.

Artist Execution: Racoon. It makes me want to explore the rest of the game world and see what other strange things it contains.

Concept: stylez75 (there is a lot you can intpret in that background)
Playability: jwalt (clear arrangement)
Artistic Execution: lorenzo (I do like your art alot ! Your first image with the leaf also looked really nice, but with both backgrounds I can´t really imagine how they would be used in a game)

And cheers to blur for entering! Nice, that blue cup looks kind of lonely though
