Welcome back starknights!

Unfortunately, work has slowed down the pace of updates, but that certainly doesn't mean I'm going to stop. This update adds the foundation for the item system as well as a couple of working (and several non-working items). Furthermore it added challenge levels (if you see a blue glow, head towards that) which gives you items if you complete it successfully, a pause menu upon pressing escape which allows you to see your stats, and finally the ability to die. That's right, this far in and I finally bothered enough to add a death system to the game. Gone are the days of beating levels with -200 health. Also to advance to the next level, make sure you follow the glow.
