Status(bar) Update

Ah, the status bar. I have always liked having it (even though I know some people prefer to turn it off). It just feels classic to me. 

But what if I wanted to update it? For example, if I wanted to show when Rarity has picked up the berserk powerup (because sometimes I forget!).

I could just add a small image, like so:

Regular-strength Rarity


Rarity's on fire with the berserk powerup!

Or, what if you wanted to know if you had green armor or blue armor (because they have different save percentages and I didn't realize this for a long time)? 


Three points on the shield for the 33% save

It's a bigger shield to show the 50%. 
Still have to figure out what the armor powerups will be, though. 

Or what if I wanted to find a statusbar font that looked like something Rarity would use but still is legible at tiny size?

...I don't have a picture for this one. The red freedoom one doesn't really fit, and the mlp-font text below is a little too pixelated for my liking, so that's another thing I'll have to change. 

But still! Very fun.
