Interesting idea, took me a while but I soon understood the concept. The UI was clean and the theme/limitation are very apparent in the design. After winning the game - against myself, my suggestions would be to add A.I. and an explanation of the rules, and also perhaps some music/audio as well!
The game fits the dice theme in that it's based on a dice game. However, I find myself very confused on what to do. The rules of the game are not explained to the player. There's just a roll dice button and a Hold button. I was initially confused when I kept rolling the dice and see my number go up until it went away. I then google what Pig Dice Game was, and that's when I found out the rules and it made sense. Even so, there was no punch of visual feedback or audible feedback when rolling good or bad, which I feel is a massive detriment to the game.

I would recommend adding in even the basic rules of Pig to the game in the future, so that even players with no idea what Pig is can read the rules and understand the basic premise AND also understand what your buttons in the game do. Even adding some movement to the buttons and dice (grow and shrink, rotate the die image, etc) can go long way in making the game FEEL better to play.
You are right. I didn't even think about posting what the game was actually about and what the rules were. I'll try to remember that next time.
