Great game utilising people's natural gambler's fallacy and fear of loss :D Literally, the more I have the more tense it is to decide wether I should roll one more time or pass. I never though a two-decision based game could be such addictive :D Really nice game ;)

Of course! Here's a few I came up with (or shamelessly copied from other games):
- High risk/high reward mechanic: being able to throw multiple dice at once, totalling the non-1's, but also a bigger chance to roll a 1 (or perhaps when failing allowing the computer to have several turns in a row). Might also give you a chance to catch up when you're far behind.
- Being able to use rolled points to buy upgrades, such as better dice (d8's, d10's, etc.) and multiple dice (see first point) to create a pool of dice, or critical chances (high roll's allow for an extra roll), or debuffs on opponent (such as cursed dice, where a 2 also is a fail).
- Passive bonuses that always provide buffs, similar to the joker system in Balatro. For example, 'Three's a crowd' where every rolled 3 actually counts as a 4 in scoring.
Cool interpretation of the game jam theme! I also won on the first try with exactly 100 points and played another round to find out if this is a winning criterion. Turns out, you need to get AT LEAST 100 points, this is not clear from the instructions. A second game mode where you're not allowed to have "1 point too many" would be a nice addition.

Pipe Break Panic!I won on my first try! Good dice-rolling strategy game, like Yahtzee but simpler. The graphics and audio are decent. The only thing I would recommend are other game modes - like player-vs-player (on the same keyboard, since it doesn't matter if your opponent can see your screen) or a 4P game: Player vs Player vs two computer players!
