Graphics are not sharp in certain browsers due to auto-resizing #190

Some browsers (Firefox and Safari on Windows) don't scale large images down sharply, causing the graphics to look distorted.

We can remediate this issue by reducing the dimensions of the graphics significantly, but keeping them large enough so they stay sharp within our grid world.

For example, Gidget's image files are scaled down from the original 504x481px while the largest he is ever shown on screen is 100x100px (in the first level) and smallest is 35x35px (10x10 level).

Resolved. Made overly large images ~120x120px.
