The game is fun once you figure out how it works, but it was presented to several jams, and don´t fit the theme of this one... So, you can move with arrow keys (left and right), and the dice (why a dice? -Ah, because the PP jam...-) always apears above your head. If you are always clicking with your mouse exactly above your head and move to collect items... You´ll survive enough. Also, if you escape from the octopus out of the screen, you are faster hehe.
Recomendations: Better tutorial, start slower and make the playable character smaller.
