iRoll Dice Game app for iPhone and iPad
iRoll is a dice rolling game in which you will have to maximize your score. The scoring is divided into thirteen different categories. You can either play the game alone, beating your highest score, or you can play together with up to eight persons.
Features:
- 1-8 players (Pass n Play)
- Highscores
- Shake to roll the dice, with shake and rolling sounds
- Roll animation
- Suggestions for which dice to keep and which scores to choose
- Easy to use interface
- Multitasking, so you can easily continue were you left off
As a Game Programming project, the game will give you suggestions on what dice to keep and which scores to fill in. It is also possible to take a picture with the built-in camera (if it exists) and let the application recognize your dice roll automatically. However, the latter feature is not considered stable and only works under good lighting conditions and dice that have good contrast between face and dots colors.
Pros and cons of iRoll Dice Game app for iPhone and iPad
iRoll Dice Game app good for
Glad I got it. Ive always loved this game and this app does a good job of recreating it. It works well and is simple. I would like to be able to customize colors.
Great app. Plays like the real game. Plus its free. I like how its called "5 of a kind" instead of "yahtzee". I got a five of a kind my first round and I didnt know what to yell.
I enjoy playing it. Its not quite as good as the true Yahtzee game, but its definitely worth getting. Basics are all there, scoring is the same. Nice way of playing. No real complaints! Except maybe its a little annoying to have to pull up the scoresheet in the middle of game play...but I dont know if its any better in the other apps. Try it!!
This is a great implementation of Yahtzee. I am addicted. The only change I would suggest is an undo feature (I sometimes hit a key that I dont intend to and there is no way to go back) and IIRC, in classical Yahtzee, you can take full points in another category on a second roll of 5 of a kind. Not a big deal but would be nice to add.
My niece and I played this for an hour on the airplane. Great "yatzee" simulator. Perfect for camping, traveling, or waiting in line.
Really fun for a free Yahtzee!
my one request would be bonus yahtzees. I dont know if I am doing this right- I got 2 bonus 5-of-a-kinds, but there was no special bonus for either.
So even when you do amazing, theres only so high your high score can go.
One more request- a time stamp for the high scores sheet. So you can challenge beating all the scores in 2010, or getting a new one this week. That would be great!
Some bad moments
