Larry Snyder today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Dice Diving 1.0 for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Dice Diving is a new game that combines the excitement of competitive high-diving with the thrill of poker-style hand making.

Just as in high-diving, Dice Diving pushes the player to focus both on the degree of difficulty and individual judging of the dive. Using five dice the player is required to complete specific hands that represent the 3 elements of a high-dive difficulty, including the approach, the flight and the entry. At the same time, while trying to complete the difficulty, the player must also complete five free-play hands representing the five different judges.

Gameplay is quick and challenging. With a limited number of rolls, players are forced to make critical decisions balancing the pursuit of the best poker hand for the highest judges scores or completing the mandatory elements in the dive’s difficulty. By achieving both in 31 separate events, the player will be awarded with bronze, silver or gold medals and if they are good enough, they will stand alone as the world record holder against all of the dice diving community.
