Ghostware: Polish and UI Devlog

This Devlog for Ghostware will focus on the following topics:

• -UI

UI

The UI for Ghostware consists of a health bar, a battery bar, and a score summary. The battery also uses a warning indicator to show when Lumens battery is about to run out, blinking faster and faster as it approaches empty. There is also a charging icon to indicate when Lumen's battery is recharging as well as a small number to show Lumen's exact health next to the health bar to also indicate the new maximum health if the player has gained a power-up. 

Bosses now use a large health bar at the bottom of the screen to indicate their importance and difficulty more clearly whilst normal enemies have their health indicated above their heads to show the contrast in power.

Feedback
