JS Game Having Problems

Question

Hi, I'm having a ton of problems with a small, fun game I was working on using the oversimplified p5js framework. The game features a ninja who must face enemies until the final boss at score 20. I am starting to make a boss that will go up and down according to your movements, and fire bullets at you. (I purposely set the score at 18 to bug test the boss level).

However, I am having problems where I can't get the boss level to work:
I cannot implement a mechanism that lowers your health when the boss shoots you. I also cannot get the health to decrease in increments, rather than continuously as through a loop. If you find any other things to be improved, thank you! However, the problems that I listed are the priority for me, and it would be great if someone helped out.
