This is a really fun entry and i really liked it a lot. The dice mechancis were relaly good and i found myself finding it made for great strategy. I think the music is fine, although i would like some more sound effects. I was able to make it to the ladybeetle, where i just had no chance. I got it down to 6 health, but it kept wearing me down and i couldn't get past it. I think it could need some balancing and improvements. Otherwise this is a really nice entry and i hope to see it continue being worked on. Also screen reader worked very well, i used nvda.
