Hi Packmates!
A few changes have been packed into this update. The main goal here is to address some of the feedback we have received by improving the feeling of melee while also reducing the sudden spike in difficulty later on for both melee and ranged characters.

Curses now have a red background to make them stand out against relics
Added a UI tracker for obtained Hero Gems during an adventure
Added a sound and effect that plays when the Forest Tear charm triggers
Added unlock challenges for Paladin and Archer classes to add class progression rather than having all classes available from the start.
Collision Changes
