Phantom Hunter Update # 10 - Core loop update

Hey Everyone! Been making some decent sized updates.

Was thinking lots lately of how can I make my game fun and scalable. In terms of progression and core loop. 

I tend to play lots of rogue-likes such as Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain, and took some heavy inspiration from them with this update.

Gameplay updates:

• Player now has a health bar, instead of a 1 hit KO
• Enemies now spawn in giant groups
• Enemies now do not overlap each other
• Allow dash to work in the air
• Player can now level up (does nothing at the moment)
• Remove ghosts left in the UI as this is no longer the goal
• Update upgrades at research table to reflect new gameplay

Fixes:

• Fix issue where if you restart you lose items you gained in your persistent inventory
• Fix issue in battle music, where it would never play other songs

NOTES:

• Core game loop is not complete yet and spawning enemies infinitely
• Currently still thinking of how progression while in game should work, and how enemies spawning should work. 
  • Although I do really like games like Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain. I want to do something a little bit different on how the boss type enemies will work. Which is they are going to be a lot tougher to fight and will require a bit more strategy.

• Another thing is upgrades tie into this heavily.  Upgrades might trivialize fighting enemies, so I want to be careful doing my next few steps
