From AppSmile:
We hope to see more game style ingenuity like this in the App Store. The developer took three elements, dice, poker, and diving and blended them into a successfully entertaining app that we never saw coming. After learning the ropes in the demo video, we think Dice Diving will hold the interest of any gamer like it has ours. We award Dice Diving a 1, 2, and 2 roll to make 5-Dimples.

Dice Diving is a new game twist on the classic game of yacht that combines the excitement of competitive high-diving with the thrill of poker-style hand making.

Just as in high-diving, Dice Diving pushes the player to focus both on the degree of difficulty and individual judging of the dive. Using five dice the player is required to complete specific hands that represent the 3 elements of a high-dive difficulty, including the approach, the flight and the entry. At the same time, while trying to complete the difficulty, the player must also complete five free-play hands representing the five different judges.

Gameplay is quick and challenging. With a limited number of rolls, players are forced to make critical decisions balancing the pursuit of the best poker hand for the highest judges scores or completing the mandatory elements in the dives difficulty.

By achieving both in 31 separate events plus 5 bonus events, the player will be awarded with bronze, silver or gold medals and if they are good enough, they will stand alone as the world record holder against all of the dice diving community.

Feature Highlights:
* A new and original dice gaming concept
* Beautifully crafted 3D & 2D dice and professional board design
* Solid, pleasant sound effects
* Local achievements and online world records across 31 events and 5 bonus events
* Fast, competitive gameplay
* In-game instructional video

Sounds easy? Well, it is easy to pick up and play. A single dive event match only takes a couple of minutes to play, but the high speed competition will take time to master. Are you good enough to capture the world record against other players! There’s only one way to find out!

Pros and cons of Dice Diving app for iPhone and iPad

Dice Diving app good for

Neat concept similar to Yathzee, in a way...challenging and fun!

Each dive has has three primary bits (Approach, Flight, and Entry) which have very exact hand requirements and then there are 5 judge entries that are free for alls with a catch (you can use anything but your judged rating is based on the complexity so a garbage roll with not even a pair would rate about a 1.0 whereas a traditional Yachtzee could net you a 10.0). All of these 8 entries work together in a cool weighted manner. The Flight is the biggest aspect of your base score with the Approach and Entry coming in to a much lesser degree but then even all of those three scores are multiplied by your top 3 judge scores (the lowest 2 can be tossed out). So while a lot like Yachtzee, this scoring is much more complex and each of these dives is a stand alone little mini game. Add on top of this a comprehensive global ranking system so you know not only if you qualified for a bronze/silver/gold but what your current world ranking is for that dive as well as the top three scores for that dive at the moment.

Im not much of a dice game player, I only can really play Yachtzee, this game was easy to figure out, but I cant remember the combinations. So this game wasnt the best for me. But as an unbiased opinion, this game is worth it if you know the combinations and like to play this sort game this app is for you.

After watching the demo video (which was very helpful, btw), I was able to figure this out - and I havent stopped playing since. One thing - the water sound is annoying, but you can turn it off (thankfully!).

This was a lot of fun, just a fun game. I would recommend not watching the instructional video as it just makes it seem more confusing than it is. Just play it and have fun!

It took me some time to get the hang of this but Im completely addicted to this game. Super fun with a component of chance and strategy! I really like the fact that you unlock additional challenges. I wonder if this will improve my poker game??
