I just didn't understand what the controls meant. I just clicked the buttons randomly and looked at what happened. I had no clue.

Added some description, hopefully, it helps a bit. But basically, you navigate the knight by throwing the dice, you can choose red or blue dice to land on a spot you want like healing fountains or rank-ups.
And in combat, the roll determines how strong your attack or defense will be. The higher the roll, the better the outcome. But you can only choose one at a time so choose wisely :)
