Community Update 0.6.8b

here is a smaller update with some UI adjustments, AI improvements and some minimal graphical changes.

Funny physics bug of the week: the endboss could push the player out of the level boundaries ;) Fixed.

I also have to thank @JohnsSoothingPixels for some of the feedback and bugs he found - check out his twitch channel, and the video where he did a Laser Knights demo playthrough! <3
