Curvining Culmination Update

Hi. :]

• Added some new puzzle levels: Vibe (i2), Switch (i3), Cycle (i5).
• Added and tweaked a bunch of room mechanic hints to make things a bit clearer, particularly in the levels that revolve around you solving a mystery puzzle (such as those that contain clues or solutions outside of that level).
• Tweaked the colours of island 5 so should generally make things more readable.

The main purpose of the update though was to continue where the last update ended, tweaking and changing the island 5-8 levels to make them shorter but sharper experiences. Generally removing unnecessary redoing of stuff, in particular for the late-game action orientated levels which were perhaps more of a test of endurance than skill.
