Dices throwing takes too long and I got stuck on dice roll. Pretty good idea but not very exciting.

Just a little too simple and bland for my taste. It's far to easy to live a long, healthy life; I got 194 years without really trying.

I think you could rework the random life element idea into an art/puzzle game where the player is dealt a random life and a "debt" that they need to pay off--the player being given a rank title based on what life elements they sold and have left over.

Lost my life after 176 years? Well, allllllllllllllll riiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhht.

The game is nice but after a few minutes a dice throw went wrong: a dice got stuck on a corner between 1 and 3 and I had to restart.
It would be useful to insert a mechanism that automatically moves the dice after a few seconds of immobility.

The game locks up if a die lands on edge... It doesn't freeze or anything, but you can not continue because the roll never ends... The dice don't 'feel' very random either and rarely seem to roll after being dropped. I don't know if this is intentional or not. Also when you move off of the screen it just scrolls and scrolls... Which puts you in the middle of nowhere because the 'board' is much, much larger than the actual playing field.

Overall it is pretty decent for what it is, but board games alone get old really fast.
