It would be nice to have a table of all the combinations visible while you play.

In the tutorial is is not clear that you must choose to roll again or bank your points.

When you get "nada" it would be nice that you show the dice for a small time and then show that you get "nada".

I don't like the rule of 1000 point for start accumulating points. (A lot of games have similar rules, I don't link any of it's versions.)

Does the bot play optimally?

Yeah, I think a little 'help' panel would be useful during play, but space is a little short for that to be always in view.

The bot is fairly dumb: it responds mostly randomly, but weighted one way or the other depending on the points involved.

Thanks for your other comments, I'll make some updates when I can.
