Dice Throw

Features
Read full description

Dice Throw turns your phone into a real dice tray. Drop in any mix of coins, d4s, d6s, d8s, d10s, d12s and d20s - up to 10 dice at once - then tap the felt, tap a die, shake your phone, or drag-and-flick a held die to throw. Real 3D physics drives every roll, so no two throws land the same way, and dice cast real contact shadows so you can always tell how high they're bouncing. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - Feels like real dice: real 3D physics (gravity, friction, restitution, wall and floor collisions) drives every roll - Looks like a real dice tray: a photographed wooden box frames the table, and every die is finished in a real material - marble, brushed steel, copper, gold, wood - Sounds like real dice: each die gets a believable sound budget per throw instead of a noisy clatter on every bounce, plus a distinct coin-toss sound for the coin - Answers "what can I even roll?" instantly: a stats box shows the mean, minimum, and maximum possible total for your current dice pool the moment you add or remove a die - Remembers your rolls: every throw is saved automatically, with a scrollable chart of recent totals and a full per-throw breakdown FEATURES - Seven die types: coin, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 - Tap, shake, or drag-and-flick to throw - Long-press a die to pick it up, aim, and throw it in a specific direction, or drag it off the table to remove it - Real-time mean / min / max readout for your current dice pool - Rolling 7-throw results strip and a decelerating count-up animation on your total - Full throw history with a scrollable bar chart and per-throw dice breakdown - 6 and 9 are marked with a dot so they can never be misread - Settings for sound, haptics, shake-to-throw, and shake sensitivity No ads. No in-app purchases. No account to create. Just dice.
