How does your game fit the theme?
I took the colloquial meaning of "Roll of the Dice" as some action which can either have a positive or negative outcome. In my game, you can attempt to use a jetpack, but based on it's durability it has a chance to explode and cause damage instead of giving you a boost. In this way, it's a "roll of the dice" if you choose to use it.

it's simple and fun, and sometimes it gets kind of hard!

I wish there was a way to dodge the boulders! The only reason I died is because I had no chance of moving in time. Great concept

Nice! The gameplay is simple and fun, and the jetpack mechanic is well implemented and feels interesting to use. The falling boulders move so fast that they seem impossible to dodge, but I may just be bad. Well done!

Great concept and a clever application of the theme. Very easy to pick up and play, and thought the power up implementation (occasionally repairing the jetpack to give you a 100% boost chance) was very complimentary to the gameplay. Can see lots of potential for mixing up different faulty pieces of gear needed to overcome specific challenges. Awesome job!

Pretty fun! Just don't think it fits the theme all that well.

This game reminds me of when I use to play doodle jump on my ipod touch back in the day. Good job!
