This is great feedback. I have a lot to learn about considering and developing for a variety of hardware people might be playing on (screen size, gfx card, etc). Part of the reason the room was kept on screen was to support the 'One Room Only' optional theme for the Game Jam. It's a great idea to have more specific focus for the intro and end scenes; both of these could have be full-screen. The final scene could have worked nicely if treated like a cutscene.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
