Soggy bumps

I've got a mysterious crash with my boss now. That's not good. Anyway, it only happens when the cannons are firing so I suspect the cause is in the cannon-firing code.

I added a small red blob effect whenever you hurt anything damagable. It's very subtle and kind of annoying. Ideally I'd like a palette shift flash like in the metal slug games, but as the game is not paletted that would be rather difficult. Maybe if I make the motion more jerky it'll seem more like I'm hurting the enemy.

I also changed it so the enemies release a lot more puffs of smoke when they explode. That's better.
