The workaround listed on line 13 wasn't working for me... I had a sprite image with about 5 images, and the sprite generator created the 2x sprites in a different order than the 1x sprites and for whatever reason the if statement was not picking up the difference. I removed the if statement and always set the y-position for the 2x styles and that fixed it for me.
