iZilch app for iPhone and iPad
iZilch chosen as a "Staff Favorites" and "Whats Hot" in Games!
iZilch makes your iPhone or iPod touch come alive. A gentle shake will roll the dice. The dice look and sound real, and you drag them to the Dice Scoring Area to score points. There are other dice games on the iPhone, but none of them feel like this!
This game is easy to learn and quick to master, but because you have to constantly adapt your strategy to the changing game conditions, it stays interesting and fresh for hours of addictive game play. But watch out, the iPhone and iPod touch are tough opponents!
To play iZilch, you roll the dice and then decide which dice you want to use for scoring. You can keep rolling as long as you have dice that score, but if you ever roll without scoring, you lose all the points you have accumulated for that round (Zilch!). Once you decide to stop rolling, you lock in your points for that round, and the iPhone or iPod Touch takes its turn.
Its all about risk and reward. Smart play helps, but you still have to ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky?"

Pros and cons of iZilch app for iPhone and iPad
iZilch app good for
Great little reasoning game that can be played anytime/anywhere. Great graphics
and sound effects.
Do I stop, or roll again? I find myself pushing my luck, taking the risk to improve my standing. I just cant stop playing this one. Great fun!
Fun to play and surprisingly addictive. Love the sound effects, but the best part is being able to roll the dice with a flick of the wrist! Im looking forward to many enjoyable games!
a no brainer to play anytime you want to get away. youll never get bored ever again!
It certainly lives up to the description of addictive. Read the scoring tips before you start and then just see if you can beat the iPhone - and set an alarm so you get to you next appointment on time!
This is fun to play, to master, and to win. Great job with the game playing, and taking advantage of the platform. Nicely designed.
Some bad moments
Sorry, just doesnt cut it. The graphics are stilted and jerky, grabbing a die is hit and miss and you really need to be able to turn the sounds off, play another person or play solitaire! You can shake and roll but you have to grab each die to move it to the hold area, shouldnt you be able to double tap one and hold it?
Personally, Ill stick with YippyIT by RANWare. Its got better graphics and they have a Mac version of the game!
I was stunned that the iPhone competitor was able to get 3 sixes two times in one game and a straight. I played 8 games and never got 3 sixes one time in all 8 games. Frustrating that the iPhones rolls are so lucky... if you want to win, dont buy this game, it is virtually impossible to win. Some other problems I found with this game is that it is difficult to grab the dice to move them to the score area, and you cannot mute the sound.
One, three ones equal only 300 but 3 fives is 500. There needs arm better rolling system and sound control. Costumizable rules would be much better.
Save your money. Not even worth the 99 cents IMHO. It only works half the time it is loaded and freezes up. Cant drag dice into the scoring as stated in previous posts. Would be a great app but must have a problem somewhere.
Have played roughly 300 games of this. Results are not random. The game has rolled a straight about 4 times the amount I have.
In preparation for a family reunion Ive been brushing up on all the games we played as a kid. This is one of my favorites (the game), but this version is my least favorite of the four I tried. When you roll the dice they spread out on the screen. Cute idea, but that makes it harder to find the scoring dice (as opposed to having them in a row in one place). It also doesnt have many options in scoring, and doesnt score automatically.
