There is not, but I'll attempt to implement a solution in the next patch. Apologies for the inconvinience. If you wish to keep playing, it appears that the screen's giant nature only applies to the menu screen, the advice screen, and (possibly) the winning screen. Hitting play should restore it to acceptable levels.
Hmm, it took me a while to figure out that you use the mouse to move and Z to shoot and that the angle in which you suddenly move our mouse would determine the angle that your character is aiming at.
Having said that, this 'quick' boss fight seems to have more than 3 stages, and the black masses being produced in stages 2 and 3 being near invisible due to the background image.
Restarting the game after losing all my health takes me back to Stage 1, but for some reason there is an invisible sprite in the middle of the room that harms me when I touch it, and after some time, the red bullets from Stage 3 start being generated and follow me wherever I go.
You might want to look into debugging and fixing the game first, lest people think the game is meant to be unplayable, friend :p
Apologies for the game's slight buggginess, I will attempt to fix these problems. It's strange, there are always a few things that work when you initially bug test that break without explanation when you load it into html. As for the controls, I'll add a screen that explains them in the next patch ;).
Ah, I had just now realised that the main character is an eyeball XD
Your game is very sensitive to sudden movements of the mouse, making me have to readjust my position ever so often; sometimes, when I stop moving, the character suddenly aims at a slightly different angle, making me miss my shots :p
Anyhow, I noticed that in your patch notes that there is a 4th entity, but I've only encountered 3 forms of the boss (normal-sized black entity, room full of dust balls, and an enraged gigantic black entity with bleeding eyes).
I find that while I can see the dust balls, sometimes I end up touching the 3rd form quite a bit as it's silhoutte is not visible, or that it's hitbox is quite big.
Other than that, pressing space bar to continue the text at the end tends to make the webpage scroll down, which would be the same problem your Spiderbite game previously had. Also, I've had to minimise my browser's zoom just so that I could comfortably play this game without having any blindspots, and your background is still a little dark (though I can see why you went with it, since the main character is an eyeball :) )
P.S.: Did you change the game just now? Previously after beating the first phase, I would have a score of 80, but now I start with 0 :o
I can't really reliably fix the sensitivity of the aiming, but I can make the background brighter! It appears html5 resets the blend coefficient of all active objects to 0, but the problem is easily fixable and the solution will be presented in the next patch.
As for the fourth phase/entity, I may have been a little unclear. The first phase has two movement sets. When you begin, the boss is on a track going around the outside edges of the room, shooting at you. After you reduce his health by half, his moveset changes and he begins to actively follow you. I counted this as a phase, but it's more like a bit of a small shift in the first phase. Sorry if that was a bit confusing. :)
As for the space bar, I'll fix that the same way I did in Spiderbite: changing the button used in the next patch.

The screen's way too big for my laptop, is there a fullscreen option?

Thank you for alerting me :)

Patch is out.

I'm using the Firefox browser by the way

Thanks again for your bug spotting! :)
Oh, I see :o
When the boss is at full health in the first phase, it's at 30, then he shifts to the second phase when his health is at 10 and below.
That's a good workaround I suppose, since the Space bar can be a little sensitive at times :p
Alright, happy to have helped out :D
