Thank you Mossieur Patate, really do appreciate the feedback.
1. I didn't take into consideration the AZERTY keyboard ); I would assume the best thing to do is add a way to change the controls right? how do people usually solve the issue of multiple keyboard layout support? and is it possible to specify location on the keyboard and not a specific key?
2. the space key took me so much time to do, I tried making it longer but with the blur it resulted in a really bad looking button xD, tried editing on the sprite after that and it went horrible :). In the end I should have went with 'SPACE' as you said ;D
3. thank you!
4. It is the dumbest way you might imagine xD, move toward the closest target -> roll until you get the target -> move again
5-6. I wanted to add more feedback but didn't have time D; Hopefully after the jam ends I am going to update the game and solve this.
7. this is happening to everyone, submitting last minute always result in these issues D;
8. that is a cool Idea I am going to test it out after the Jam ends for sure.
9. it looks like the sprite filter is fixing the the blur issue.
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you for your answers! I am always interested in behind the scenes. :)

I am not sure what the most common way is, but my opinion is that the most simple solution is to use the physical locations. I do not know how to do it in Unity, although there is probably a way directly in C# (as this is a mere low-level I/O question). In APIs such as those of SDL2 or Love2D for example, you have access to functions for looking at the key placed at the same physical location as some QWERTY key, so it’s very simple.
Custom user key binding sounds fancy and overkill for a simple little game. ;p But I guess it is easy finding libraries/assets that already implement this if you really want to, or make it yourself.

So, you mean there is a ‘flipping the dice’ mechanic, but that it’s just not noticeable? Good idea, anyway.
8. that is a cool Idea I am going to test it out after the Jam ends for sure.
Ah, thank you! :) I realize this looks a bit like Quake III Arena when you run into an item and the other player gets it. ‘DENIED!!’ (deep voice) XD

All right then, I believe in your good faith; you just won one more lucky star. ;)
Thank you for the kind words.
No problem; commenting/reviewing seems to be one of the most important part of the whole game jam process, to me. I wish more people would engage in reviewing and not desert overlooked games. (Yours is not, thankfully, but I found interesting things in few-vote submissions, including some great games.)
I think this game can be great with more polish. Unfortunately, the sprites in the game look very blurry. This is because the wrong import settings have been set in Unity.
In pixel art games, make sure you always set:
Filter Mode -> Point (no filter)
If Format is set to Automatic -> Compression -> None
You also can set the Max Size, but that's really only important for big games.
In order for the pixels in your pixel art to have the same scaling, you have to decide on the PPU (Pixel Per Unit). But I've already seen that some leave it at the default setting (100). Personally, I always set the PPU to how tall the player character is minimum. I note that the PPU must always be a power of 2, if you want one of the more common 16:9 resolutions. Otherwise half pixels will be displayed. The PPU should then be set the same for all sprites. You can also check out Unity's Pixel Perfect camera.There are a lot of good articles on the internet too, who explain that better than I do in this comment.
Back to the game. I think the rolled dice disappear too quickly. I would like to roll the dice once, then pick up my item and then roll again. For balancing reasons and to make the game more exciting, you could reroll the dice. Unfortunately I didn't have a second player just now, but I think this game would be a lot of fun with two people. Overall i think this game has potential. Looking forward to see a post-jam-update.
Thank you very much!! I haven't worked on pixel-art game before add didn't know that the filter is causing the blur issue, I tried removing the filter and it looks way better than before.
I always set PPU to the size of the image so that the image takes one unit of space in the game, I do that to simplify the math xD, I don't know if it is good or bad though. and I didn't know about the power of 2 thank you.
