I like the cinematic aspect the game has: the moving camera angle, how information is integrated to the scenery (as in some films’ opening credits), a (simple) scenario to justify the action.

Some remarks/suggestions:

1. I think some subtitles would have been useful for non-native English speakers, as the bartender speaks relatively fast (and with a modified high-pitched voice).
2. I think the game would be far more playable if you had these two things:
   1. The shape of the hand should be more in a clasp (as a non-English native speaker, I am not sure this is the proper word; I mean, like a basketball hoop);
   2. The trajectory of the dice should rather be a parabolic one, instead of falling flat. But maybe point 1 would be sufficient.
   With the current configuration, even if you touch the die, the hand’s inertia can eject it sideways.
3. Once you have failed, you are forced to rewatch the whole introduction to try again, which is impractical; it would be good to allow the player skipping it.

You want to check with other people, but as for me, catching a die is quite difficult! A bit too much so. I could reach the second part of the dialogue, but not further than this… Actually, you can stay without moving until the fifth or sixth die, but then, a collision takes place and makes a die fall, so you are bound to move and the inertia problem kicks in.

Your interpretation of the theme is quite literal and at the same time original, I think; I did not expect a dexterity game. :)

The problem I see is that physics/parameters is/are critical in such a game, and it would need some tweaking to be more reasonable. Well, except if you intended it to be difficult, in which case, well done. XD

I am a bit frustrated not being able to get what happens next, if something happens next; I shall try some more. ;)
