While the gameplay is basic, I had a pretty good time playing this. One thing I note, when you get within 2 spaces or are next to a death space, the game rolls me dice that would kill me about 4 or 5 times in a row. That is to say if I'm one square from a death square, the game will roll 2 constantly, same thing if rolling a 5 or 6 would kill me. I don't know if you somehow programmed that in or if its some weird bug but I feel like it really adds to the hopelessness this game is suppose to bring, as if the warden is deliberately messing with the dice. Additionally, the sprite work is beautiful, many people don't sprite dark or grimy colored games often.
As for new players that see this, I played the game with the max amount of starting dice (10+80 from waiting the longest time possible) and made it to the end with ~20 dice despite everything. I think its possible to lower my time to 2 max waits. Take basic probability into account as well, avoid landing on squares that force you to roll very high, very low, or on squares that bring your roll options below 3 possible numbers. In reference to my above statement, you will burn dice trying to roll just right.
