Roll the Pigs for Android
I have yet to beat the computer. Makes it not fun to play by yourself when you know you'll lose before starting.
I've got the original game and have been playing it for years, this just needs making bacon then it will be five star perfect.
A nice copy of the game. However, the jeopardy of losing all your points, 'makin' bacon', needs to be added. Also, this should be added to Facebook, or a facility where you can play online with other players. Gets boring just playing the computer if no one else is around.
This game is really fun. Definitely worth the buck. Ten stars!!!
Great version. Wish there were oinkers.
Fantastic rendition of the game. Thanks to the developer!
Exactly what it says it is
We've had the pocket game Pass the Pigs for years & loved it, the novelty never wore off. I couldn't believe it hadn't been made into an app before now. Perfect for your phone cos you shake to roll, but might be a bit awkward with a larger tablet if it's on the heavy side. Well worth £1 of anyone's money though.
I played this same game in J2ME before. In that iteration, they would show the name of the roll we got (e.g. Sider, Leaning Jowler) and it's a lot more fun playing it that way. Please implement that in this app. It would definitely make the experience a lot more exciting.
Needs some touch-ups, but a good game overall. (added later) Too many faults, and computer wins too often. I uninstalled.
Fond memories of the real dice game! It would be helpful to see the name of the positions on the screen each time you roll. The back button in the rules should go back a page rather than out to the main menu, and the menu button during a game should show scorecards and the list of possible rolls and their point values. I agree with other reviewers about rolling--we should be able to either use a button or shake the device to roll, not both simultaneously. Game is good, but could be great with these tweaks.
Looks great, but it's biblically stupid not to have an option to just press the screen to roll. Or better still to just shake the phone and then an auto-tap after a couple of seconds. Tapping the screen is most awkward when shaking the phone, as is tapping a shaking phone with your other hand. Spoils what would be a great game. A shame.
It's fun but the computer is too lucky.
Love it
It's lose points, not loose points.
Great game!!!
Just like the real game
Nearly as good as the real thing! Although I have always played to get exactly 100, it makes the game a little harder!
Great emplimintation of Pass the pigs. Been waiting for this for a long time. Do you ever get "Makin' Bacon" to win? Or is this strictly PG rated. ;)
Great game but would be better with the option to press a button to roll pigs rather than shake phone every time
