The Big Things

Brought back the tutorial level and some bosses! You can see some brief backstory in Paradise, and figure out Lauren's plans once you two reach the Night Market. You can also upgrade your health, and see Steven in new forms in the Night Market and Weather Station.
Also, you can finally fight Richter with the new AI system. It's a tough fight unless you can string attacks together.
