Room for Improvement

There are some opportunities to improve.  These things are on the list:

• Boss attack in phase 2/4 slows down slightly in browser play. (you can download the game if this is an issue)
• Smart camera zooming would improve gameplay in scenarios where boss too far away from the player.
