## What is Zombie Dice?

Eat brains. Don't get shotgunned.

Based on the hit dice game . . . but now the dice, and a zombie opponent, are in your iPhone!

You're a zombie, racing to be the first to eat 13 yummy human brains. But those humans fight back. Press your luck. Keep rolling, keep collecting brains . . . but if you get three shotguns, you're out!

Enjoy the zombie animations and sound effects (Braaaaaaaiiinnnns!). The zombie will talk back to you after every roll. But beware of his advice, because just like a human opponent, he wants you to LOSE!

### 1/5 — Mauvaises statistiques

*2026-04-29*

Come on les dés sortent beaucoup trop souvent en faveur du cpu vs les probabilités…

### 2/5 — Definitely rigged unless you..

*2025-11-24, version 2.2*

I played 30 l, yes 30 straight games and lost each one. The Ai would get doubles and triples of brains with each roll but my character would only get one and then get shotgunned. 
Get the real game. Not worth it even if it’s free or .99.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2025-08-31, version 2.2*

Needs a button to fast forward the computers turn. Also the ad for the paid version said play with friends. You can’t do that at all. All the paid version does is add more computer zombies to the game. Hitting new game doesn’t work. It will be the same game you were playing.

### 1/5 — RNG is not very random

*2025-07-21, version 2.2*

AI rolls brains while player rolls shotguns.    Needs to use a better API for RNG.

### 5/5 — Cool little game

*2025-07-17, version 2.2*

But I miss the dinosaur game that was made by the same company. Same idea but cuter than the zombie one. Still, one is better than none!

### 2/5 — Needs more mechanics

*2025-02-23*

To preface this review I want to say I love the real dice game! Play a few rounds almost daily with my 8 year old son. However it’s a very simple game with few mechanics and this is where the app falls short. The app is incredibly boring and not engaging. You just tap once and then sit. When you have a simplistic game like this you need to add some fun albeit superfluous mechanics. Dice are fun because you throw them. Watching a zombie hand drop dice is incredibly boring. A simple flip mechanic with your finger to simulate you throwing the dice and the dice animations showing the dice tumbling around more would be a huge improvement. Also animating the icons on the dice. Have the brain be squishy and pulsating, have the shotgun symbol explode outward maybe a little smoke rising from them and show the feet running off the dice. Things like this would make the app a lot more stimulating and engaging. As it stands now it doesn’t hold my attention at all. It needs to feel more like throwing dice and I would love this app.

### 4/5 — Fun, but needs update

*2024-07-26, version 2.2*

Doesn’t fill iPad mini 6 screen. A bug occasionally starts me with 4 coins instead of none. Could use expansion dice from Horde physical edition too.

### 5/5 — Топчик

*2023-06-17*

Единственная настолка которая в цифре бесплатная

### 5/5 — Needs more stats. Change 1 rule!

*2022-04-12*

There are 2 expansions… 

Are they ever going to be added into this digital game?

I’d play a LOT more if I could see total games played, total won, total lost, win%, loss%, avg score One rule change in this game would make it more strategic; let us CHOOSE which dice to add to the 3 we get to roll. Ex; start game, I might want to CHOOSE 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green. I roll red shotgun, feet for the other yellow and green. I re-roll those 2 dice AND a third that I get to CHOOSE!! (This is how we play the yphysical game). This game should let us choose when appropriate... this would eliminate some RANDOMNESS in this game. Btw, I payed the $.99 and it lets me add more ai players but so far I’ve seen a whole 2 additional animations. Thats kinda LAME. AT LEAST add different graphic-mugshot faces for the different zombie opoonents (ai) that we play against. And GameCenter achievements are registering... the game sees my nickname but the achievements are not happening (i know i’ve achieved them but GC icon does not enable). There can be soooooo much more to this game. As it is, its too random, too basic, not enough stats... what a shame for a digital game.

### 5/5 — Like the physical dice game.

*2022-04-03*

It’s like playing the physical game. Bummer there are no expansion dice included. Also there is a bug: if you quit a game without finishing it and then start a a new game, the old participants will begin with their old score.
