you could use the screen transition extension [https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-screen-transitions](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-screen-transitions)
and you can look at this game i made with my friend to see how to use it

My suggestion would be to set the background to your title screen, then only start the game once the A button is pressed (move all the existing ‘on start’ code into the ‘on a pressed’ section, and make sure there is an ‘if’ statement checking for some variable like ‘on\_title\_screen’ to make sure you don’t run the code twice!)
