User Reviews

Many reviews praise the app for capturing the feel of the classic Dr. Mario and finding it addicting as a quick game. However, a majority flag persistent control glitches—buttons sometimes register opposite commands or don’t respond—along with general bugs and occasional crashes, especially after updates. Compatibility issues with iOS 14 and concerns about changes to the old theme/experience appear in several reviews. A few players also note the game could use background music and fewer disruptive ads. Overall, the positives contrast with unstable controls and quality concerns.

Pros

Very similar to the original game and addictive.
Nostalgic concept; a solid mobile rendition of a classic NES game.
Fun to play and serves as a good quick-time waster; easy to pick up.
Ability to quit a game and resume later is convenient.

Cons

Controls are buggy and unresponsive; buttons often do the opposite or are hard to press.
Frequent bugs and crashes, especially after updates; performance issues.
Updates changed the game and reduced the nostalgic feel; not the same experience.
iOS 14 compatibility issues; not working on iOS 14.

The minigames are so addictive I wished you added more. Here are some 3 fun minigame ideas: Tic-Tac-V: Tic-Tac-V is basically tic tac toe. The grid is made out of many pills. The pieces (X and O) are selectable virus characters. If some one wins. You have to complete a bonus level. The bonus level is literally a V made out of pills. You have to destroy it in 10 minutes. If you run out of time, you lose. This also goes vice-versa if you win and someone lost. Flappy Pill: Instead of a flying bird. You are a flying pill. You have to avoid stacked up viruses. The stacked up viruses are basically in a pillar form. They are some that are long or short. If you go to a pillar made out of pills and contains your color. You win. If it does not contain your color. You lose. There are two modes: final (it has an end) or endless (has no end). If you win the game, you get a message that says “You win!” The text is made out of colorful pills. Virus Vaders: You are a pill that shoots pills. The space invaders are replaced with viruses. You shoot them with the color the game automatically chooses you. You lose if you match the wrong pill color to the virus. The boss is a large virus made out of other viruses. You loose if it defeats you. If you win. A smiley face appears made out of pills. It means you won.

Very similar to the original game and can be addicting. But, the button controls frequently do the opposite of what they are supposed to. It especially happens on the higher levels where you have to react so quickly. If you like it when the buttons do exactly the opposite of what you want, then this game is for you. Maybe the AI devs of this game could fix this 🤷🏻‍♀️.
