Update Summary:
This small update polishes the changes from last update, focusing on Bug Fixes, New Curses, Increasing Song Speed and Overall Balance Changes.
NEW CURSES: The New Curse system if there are both a Larger Curse Pool to choose from and Harder Curses that counteract certain builds. We’ve added new curses to really explore this system better.
