Crashes out, and only fix is to delete and reinstall. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Closes constantly *2025-12-30, version 2.3.2* I have gotten rid of this so many times and re downloaded hoping they would fix it bc I actually like the game but it closes prematurely all the time terrible fix that ### 3/5 — Bueno pero… *2025-12-24, version 2.3.2* Muy entretenido pero se traba y se sale del juego, necesitas estar instalando y desinstalando ### 1/5 — I used to love this mindless clickety game, but… *2025-12-11* There so many bugs and glitches in this game that as soon as an ad pops up it kicks you out and you can’t go on from where you were at. You have to start over from level one which is super annoying. This game is super close to Dr Mario but lame AF that they never fix the issues and don’t seem to care at all about the game they designed. One star review because it seems to be completely abandoned by the creators but yet still available to play. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Fix it or delete it 🥱 ### 5/5 — Mon passe temps favori *2025-11-13, version 2.3.2* J’adore ce jeu mais un bug régulier m’empêche d’y jouer depuis quelques temps 😥 ### 1/5 — New low *2025-11-06, version 2.3.2* What’s the highest level you reached with the new Shut Down version? ### 4/5 — Still has some bug *2025-11-03* The game shuts down randomly. Then you must delete it and reinstall for it to work for a who or a month or five minutes. I still like this game. Mr. developer if you’re reading these comments, why don’t you fix the bug. ### 1/5 — Really fun game. Don’t download it. *2025-10-01, version 2.3.2* I keep trying with this game because I really do like it. It just gets to a point where it won’t stop closing down. So do not download it because you don’t want to like it and then have it junk out on you. ### 4/5 — I love it but it keeps crashing *2025-09-14, version 2.3.2* I love that it works like Dr Mario i love that there are very few advertisements.but it keeps crashing! I was on level 25 and it shuts down and yon have to uninstall and reinstall so it loses your high score ### 1/5 — I love it but… *2025-09-11* It keeps suddenly shutting down. I open it back up and it shuts down again. I keep deleting the game and redownloading. It’s good for a couple of days and then does it again. ## Frequently asked questions about Pill Mania HD ### What is Pill Mania HD?
