Hi,
yes that is very possible and easier to test different ways to do it with PM.
a way that i can think of is to move your background instead of your ship.
Split the background in several parts and when you move (for example) to the right to a certain point, the most left part will be set to right side.
Your enemies/Powerup should be set a a child to the background part they are in,
so when the background is moved they will move with it.
You can work with triggers for the enemies so that if they move into another background part they will be set as child to that back ground.
PlayMaker is easy to learn and saves a lot of time, easier to debug and has a good active forum, so if you need any help just ask.
