woahh!! thank you so much for your effort dude! didn't expect such a long comment.
that's a good idea to show the numbers around the player. i agree that it's a lack of transparency on the back of the dice. As the game goes on later, every step counts.
for the controls, it could be helped with cursor control. we've also got a new idea by putting a low contract WASD character on the screen. let us know your thought if you can
other things you mentioned could be done if GMTK has a longer during haha
