Misc polish

• Slightly better colors for color-blind folks (there's still more work to be done on this)
• QuickStart promoted to its own mode. When QuickStart is completed --> auto-select Battle mode
• fixed some colors in QuickStart
• prevented exiting a tutorial by just accidentally pressing "cancel" once too many times
• fixed issue where the dynamite tutorial could display the wrong score
• fixed issue where blastZones could appear on the level but be inactive given an odd interaction with the freezer powerup
• fixed issue where reading an old save file from the cloud could ignore new default levels, modes, characters

Basics

• Strike bombs with your sword to turn them your color
  
• When a bomb's fuse runs out.. it explodes, creating a blast zone
  
• What's a blast zone? It's an area that's dangerous for your opponents. Blast zones stick around, so..
  
• .. you can use them to take over more-and-more territory... *or*, with expert timing, you can fling a just-about-to-explode bomb at a hapless opponent (We call that a snipe shot)
  
• Eliminate all opponents to win the match!
