Version 1.9 notes:

• Rotate the Playdate's crank slowly but steady.
• Some levers might animate twice and get out of sinc but still usable.
• Character won't display as soon as it comes out of a tokapu point.
• Artifacts sprites reappear after collected.
• Frame rate drop near the end of the game, possibly due the draw calls on update.
• Finish function not returning to the main screen after you finish the game,
