Update 0.8.2

Hero Levels

This update adds levels to heroes. You now earn Hero Experience at the end of a gauntlet, which lets you upgrade your hero to new levels. Each level has a coin cost, but will improve your hero and their possibilities. As you level up heroes, you will unlock more items, better stats, and general improvements to the hero. 

For our early mover players, who have been with us since the beginning, if you have already discovered these items, they stay unlocked, as we didn’t want to take anything away from you.

Chests, currencies, item cards

We’ve added Coins and Gems for the game, and also Hero chests and item cards. These will get more of a clear role in the coming weeks when we introduce part 2 and 3 of this puzzle. For now, gather all the cards you can.

New Uniques

Each hero has received 3 new Unique items which are unlocked as part of leveling up. This adds a total of 9 new Unique items to the game.

New UI and Menus

We have a new fancy look on our UI. We hope you like it!
