This is really good. From the first line I was thinking of Alien (the movie). I like how simple the rules are and how tension naturally rises as the dice get smaller and smaller. I do wish you encouraged eliminated players to throw obstacles at the remaining players. This game could be played with a spinner (or a bottle ;) who ever it points to has to roll, make an obstacle for the next player and spin the spinner. That way it would not need a GM, there is no way for one player to be singled out and everything is guaranteed to move quickly.

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the mechanic of rising tension as that was kind of our centre piece of the game so I'm so happy its well received lol. The having eliminated players throw in some obstacles is an interesting idea but we were hoping to foster more of a team work dynamic with the "guardian angel" ability where the players are working together against the GM, but there's no reason your idea couldn't be used for a very different feel or dynamic. Thanks for the suggestion and for checking out our game.
