Package updated!

Honestly, I didn't think two dice could be so hard to draw, especially getting the "throw" to look convincing.
Unfortunately, the animation is so fast that all the details I put in get lost. It's a shame, but I'm happy with the result, considering the 4 frames 32x32 pixel limitation!

165- Replaced the rotating coin animation with authentic HeroQuest red dice, slowed the animation speed, and added a rolling sound effect. FEATURE
166- Added the east-facing throne icon to the 2D map. BUG
167- Updated monster animation sequences to match each action type (blocking, attacking, and dying), and added blood effects. FEATURE

can't wait to hear your opinion after your try. Let me know!
Your thread was a sort of bug Enciclopedia!
