Good game, could be great with just a little attention

I remembered playing Dr Mario years ago and went looking for an app. I like this one because it works well, and especially because it allows for a two-player game so I can play against my sister like I did years ago. Tapping to control takes a bit of getting used to, but this version is well-designed and works better than the others I tried. Worth the dollar for sure.If I could request ONE addition, it would be a *pause button*! I don’t think this is a big ask from a programming standpoint, so would you please add that for us? A kid needs my attention or I get a phone call—it would be nice not to start over every time. Also important for a two-player game—twice the interruptions.A secondary request is a way to rotate the pill counter-clockwise when desired. Maybe tap the left half or left edge of the screen for counter-clockwise. I like to start with the pills stacked to 19 or 20, and that rotation option would be helpful.Thanks for a good little game!

I loved Dr. Mario on the NES and this version is tons of fun! I like that the controls are what you expect from a mobile game (tap the screen to turn the pull, slide down on the screen to drop the pill to the bottom). I don’t like the versions that have the directional buttons on the screen. While I’d prefer to use real buttons like those try to mimic, I’ve never had good experiences with them on a mobile game. One thing I wish this version could do is drop the pill quickly, but not all the way to the bottom. If I’m playing a slow speed or against an opponent I want to move the pill quickly and slide it into place but I don’t know if this game has that capability. Otherwise, fantastic game!

Thanks for your feedback! After you swipe down to fast-drop the pill you can swipe up to return to normal drop speed. That behavior can be a little finicky though.

Fun when stressed, but why won’t sounds stay off?

There is something that calms my nerves while playing and it is nice, basic fun. But for whatever reason, I find the sounds creepy and although they are set to off every time I reboot the game, the music and sounds are back. Clearly not the end of the world, I can just turn the sound off on my device or re-tell it to turn sounds off… it’s just a little tedious.

Hi. Thanks for the review! The intent is to have the music stay off indefinitely once you turn it off but I’ve had one other report of it turning back on but only when using AirPods. I’ll see if I can figure this out. Update: I just pushed a new version that should fix the annoying audio issues you mention.

Love this game. It’s great if you have a few minutes of downtime to play a couple rounds. The controls feel better than other Dr Mario type games I’ve tried. Definitely with the dollar since other similar apps have pop up ads.

Added the ability to pause a game. The current game can be paused by tapping the pause button at the top right of the game screen, or pushing the app to the background. The size of the game play area has also been increased.
