Roll the dice. Pick your line. Sink the putt. Dicey Golf is a clever little golf game where every shot starts with a roll of the die. The number is how far your ball flies - then you choose the direction and watch it sail, complete with a real ball-flight tracer. Plan around trees, sand traps, water hazards, slopes and wind to finish each hole in as few strokes as you can. EASY TO LEARN, TRICKY TO MASTER • Roll for distance, then aim in any of 8 directions • Fairways give you +1, sand costs you 1, trees block your shot (unless you're hitting from the fairway), and you can fly over water but never land in it • Slopes roll your ball one more square, and wind can push long shots off line • Don't like your roll? Take a mulligan. Roll back-to-back 1s for a bonus one! PLAY YOUR WAY • 5 hand-crafted 9-hole courses: Meadow Links, Coastal Dunes, Timberline, Canyon Ridge and Highland Falls • Random Links - brand-new holes every round • Daily Challenge - the same course for everyone, every day. Keep your streak alive! • Night Golf - finish a course under par to play it under the stars with a glowing neon ball • Wind: Off, Easy, Medium or Hard • Skill: Novice, Casual or Pro PLAY WITH FRIENDS • Pass-and-play for 2-4 players on one phone • Colored balls and shot trails for every player, a full scorecard, and bragging rights for the winner COLLECT & UNLOCK • 19 achievements, each one unlocks a new golf ball - Beach Ball, Storm, Golden Eagle, Rainbow and more • Unlock courses and night modes just by playing • Detailed stats: rounds, average score, birdies, longest shot and daily streaks MADE FOR PHONES • Your round saves after every shot - close the app and pick up right where you left off • One-handed, portrait play with satisfying sounds and haptics • A short, skippable tutorial gets you playing in seconds Dicey Golf is free to play with optional ads. A one-time Dicey Golf Pro purchase unlocks every course, night mode and golf ball right away and removes the ads between holes.
