Stumbled upon this game and now cant get enough of it. It reminds me a lot of Sword & Poker in many ways. Its a combination of two genres that dont seem to go together (in this case diving and dice), it has that "just one more game" feel to it instantly, and I think about the game a lot when Im not playing it. These two games were very much shocks to me and I think that I could just have the two of them on my phone and Id be happy.
The game really does a great job of giving you an intense feeling that Yahtzee (a game it can be compared with) really doesnt have. There is something about having to get all of the elements together in order to get your "dive" right that really has you shaking in your dice cup. I wont go deep into game play because you can find the video online for that, but know that this is easily my favorite dice game, and one of my top five of any genre at the moment.
A few things Id like to see with the game... Multiplayer to really get the competition going. This could be pass and play, online, or even just a computer -- anything would really help. Id also like to see some randomness in the judges scoring. Right now every judge scores a hand the same and it would be good if certain judges liked certain hands a little better -- like in real diving where judges pick up on some things that others dont.
I have to say that I really hate that someone gave this game a one star rating because it wouldnt play their music. I love that we all have our opinions and we have the freedom to say it, but come one... at least let us know what you thought of the game and if you wanted to give a one star because of that, at least tell us what you think the game would be if it played your music. Then maybe you could split the middle and give us an average score... like... I dont know... a diving judge.
Dont pass this one up... if you even remotely like dice games (and if youre reading this you must have some love for the dice) then this game needs to be in your library. Now pick it up and go for the gold!
