A fix for the web player, and documentation updates. The game ROM is the same as v1.

Web player: the "Click to play" overlay now disappears when you click it. Before, it stayed on top of
the game, because its display: flex style overrode the hidden attribute.
Web player: pressing a game key (Enter, the arrows, X and so on) while the game screen has keyboard
focus now starts play too, so the player works without a mouse.
Docs: the README no longer lists pause on Start and level compression as future ideas; both shipped in
v1. Its next ideas now reflect the space that's left: music, more caves, a co-op spirit marker.

The release assets are the same set as v1: the ROM, booklet, box art, cartridge label and mock-up, pamphlet,
trailer and the release-kit zip.

The first release of Lantern Moth: a 1-2 player co-op cave arcade game for NES-compatible consoles and
emulators (NROM-256, mapper 0).

The game

15 caves: 12 cave stages and bosses on 5, 10 and 15 (the Great Owl, the Cave Toad and the Snuffer Queen)
6 creatures, each caught a different way: dust bunny, shadow bat, snuffer beetle, mimic stone, wisp and
moth-eater spider
2-player co-op with team loops, spirits and revives
Power-ups (speed, control, tail, extra life), carry-over time and a time bonus
Pause on Start, flap on A or B, and a hint on the first stage
