How does your game fit the theme?
The key mechanics of the game are about affecting dice as they roll to try and force an outcome. SHOOT dice to speed them up and keep them rolling, or WEB dice to slow them down and make them stop before they hit a wall and change. Make sure the dice stop on BONES to win cash for your cheating pirate friends!

Was a bit lost before I read the instructions: I reflexively assumed the goal was not to get squished and blindly shoot, but I was pleasantly surprised by the premise! Presentation was excellent with great sound design and feedback!

Potentially make it more clear what side you have to stop the dice on. It took me until the last 20 seconds to realize I wasn't trying to get 6 and was trying to get the skulls. Overall though amazing concept and great execution!
