A GREAT NEW IDEA THAT WAS WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED!
Domino Dice © is one of those puzzles with a built in Déjà Vu factor, don’t be surprised if you already know how to play. Domino Dice © was waiting to be published, the missing element was Str8ts © TM allowing for a logical placement of the dice.

THE TRANSFORMATION FROM DICE TO DOMINOES!
Turning dice into dominoes is only half the fun. Planning ahead to create the maximum number of unique dominoes is the real challenge. Fill up the board wisely it will really help you keep your final score low.

ROTATE THE DICE!
A “Roto-Control” with a built in memory will help you solve the puzzle. The location of the die counts need to be discovered and are different from game to game. Don’t be surprised if the die count you need to solve the puzzle with is on the bottom of the die.

TOP TEN!
You can’t go back to play a puzzle twice! Play Domino Dice © and submit your true score. Place yourself firmly on the” Top Ten List” and help establish an average score for each of the 600 puzzles. Enter the puzzles code to check your position at www.dominodice.com

STORYBOOK GRAPHICS AND SIMPLE CONTROLS
Domino Dice © was created to have an old world look, similar to opening up and old hand painted book. The entire application was created to be comfortable to use and make visitors feel right at home.

Pros and cons of Domino Dice app for iPhone and iPad

Domino Dice app good for

There is quite a learning curve in this game, but once you get the hang of it youll be sucked in to play a lot more and defintely think of what moves you make before you make them. This game makes you work your brain and that to me is a major plus. The graphics are really nice on the eye and the amount of puzzles (600!) is just astonishing on the replay value. My only gripe is that you cant go back to another level youve completed and re-play it or just so you can at least find out what your score was. Hopefully that will be added in a possible future update. The highscore global top ten list is a nice feature for each puzzle, but I still hope youll be able to re-play puzzles and upload local scores as well. Final verdict: A fresh new unique style thinking type of game that is highly recommended to others. Only issue may be the learning curve. 5/5
Personally, this was a very hard game to learn. I felt like the directions and even the description in the app store were very confusing. However, once I got the hang of the game, I was hooked! Domino Dice looks great and is very addicting. You have to think ahead to create the most domino pieces and you really have to use your brain, which gives you a huge sense of accomplishment when you finish a game with the lowest score. Im not sure what the point is for guessing the order on the dice at the start of every game, so Id like an option to turn that on and off. The only problem I have with this game is that if on your last turn you have more than one option on dice to match with to create a domino, the game ends before you are allowed to select a match. This has been pretty annoying because more than once Ive missed the high score on a level because of that. But besides this minor annoyance, this is the best puzzle game I own. This is worth way more than its asking price!
Learning to play this game is fun, one you know how to play you be glued for hours. Just reliased that dice is domino and domino is dice. Great graphic and simple control, with many level to play, you may published your score if you like too.
Syndicated Puzzles puts out the best puzzle games for the iDevice, hands down! I loved 1 to 25, Im still obsessed with Str8ts, and now Ive had the opportunity to play Domino Dice, which plays much like Str8ts, but with a few little nuances that make it a game unto itself. I really like the old book style, something that you dont often see in puzzle games: a little flair and personality. Gameplay is pretty simple once you understand what you have to do. The rotation mechanism is fun to use. Great job and great game! Please please please keep them coming!
It took me a couple of rounds to get the hang of how to play this game. Once I got it, I was hooked. I think I found a couple of bugs where a black die on a row allowed a duplicate value to reside on the same row. I had a black one on the bottom left space and the last available value for my straight was a one right beside it to complete the column. I dont think this should have been allowed. This could be a 5-star app if the rules were more clearly described (a tutorial round would be great) and a couple of minor issues are resolved: The sound on/off toggle needs to be fixed. There is sound no matter what the toggle is set to. There needs to be an option to replay any of the solved puzzles without resetting all of the scores. If you want to improve your score on a certain puzzle, you shuld be able to. These issues issues do not keep Domino Dice from being a very good app. Buy it. Im sure these issues will be addressed soon.
This is a very Enjoyable game from Syndicated Puzzles. I played Str8ts first and I am happy I did. That was the best way for me to get to know the game better. I recommend that everyone go that route (if possible) Both games remind me of a smaller scaled Sudoku. Not exactly, but thats the concept, no doubt. The whole premise is to NOT repeat numbers in the same row, Vertical and Horizontal. I found myself using the same strategy and figuring methods that I use for Sudoku. If you buy this game and cant figure it out, dont get frustrated. I found the developer to be very helpful. Great guy, actually! He will respond to your emails very timely, and very friendly as well. Otherwise, PLEASE read the instructions within the game(s). Domino Dice can be very enjoyable once You figure out what youre doing. The only thing I would like to see is different themes. Possible even poker dice as well. I would happily bump my 4 stars on up to 5 stars if the day comes when there is more Themes and Dice sets. Dont let that stop You though, pick this one up and Enjoy!
