I tried everything I could think of... never made it to 100 steps left. So, I decided to get as many as I could by waiting. Started with 99 dice, got lucky with the rolls and landed on a bunch of dice refills and coasted along without much worry. Then I hit 85 steps away and my luck turned uglier than the death by pillar scene, I rolled low numbers often and frequently got stuck between kill zones. Ironically that's the only time I rolled high numbers after 85. Didn't matter since the higher roll still would have landed me in a trap. I spent about 5 dice on average trying to get out. Low numbers meant death; high numbers meant death, 4 and 3 seemed to be the magic numbers, but 1,2.5 and 6 were the order of the day. I ran out of dice at 37 steps left. By far my best run and something I haven't been able to replicate.
Wow, not making it with 100 dice is rare. Since you really have a lot of bad luck with the dice. :(
In the new version you can collect more than 100.
But look at it this way.. you can literally feel Nekomatas desperation yourself! ^^"
The game was designed by the guard that she can not escape and has only a small hope.
Thx for playing and your passion! I hope you are not so frustrated! :(
