I have to delete and redownload the app every time a stupid Temu app comes on. ### 2/5 — Love hate this game! *2025-07-30, version 2.3.2* Love the game, hate the bugs. I wish they'd put more effort into make it actually work instead of just crashing half the time. :/ ### 2/5 — keeps crashing on iphone 16 *2025-05-15, version 2.3.2* figure your s out. i shouldn't have to keep reinstalling it otherwise good game ### 3/5 — Used to Love, now crashes before chance to play *2025-03-25* Loved this as a between things game, reminded me of Dr Mario on one of the old game systems. Over the past year-ish, the app comes up, shows the owner splash screen, then leader board for a couple seconds, then crashes. ### 3/5 — I love it but it keeps crashing *2025-01-27, version 2.3.2* I love that it works like Dr Mario i love tat tere 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 ### 2/5 — Ads are breaking the game *2025-01-26, version 2.3.2* Every time an ad pops up, the game breaks. Crashes and closes on repeat. Needs a fix. ### 3/5 — Errores *2025-01-02, version 2.3.2* Se inicia el juego pero lo cierra sin motivo alguno y cuando se trata de reiniciar lo cierra de nueva cuenta ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let dad Play *2024-12-29, version 2.3.2* The game came out like 11 years ago but currently 2024 we keep on playing and dad can’t play help me I can’t let dad play with me can you fix this that’s unplayable for dad but I can play it can you fix this? ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-12-28, version 2.3.2* I enjoy playing it but it keeps kicking me out ### 1/5 — Bug!!! *2024-12-25, version 2.3.2* The game used to be great. Now it kicks me out every time I play. ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing *2024-12-17* Why does the game keep crashing and exiting out and even if I restart the game it keeps doing it until I delete the app then redownload. The level it crashes on changes every time but it’s around 14-40 that I’ve noticed. ### 1/5 — Was good until it wasn’t. *2024-12-07* I would have given this game more stars but here are the issues. I can’t reset the stats. It doesn’t allow all double moves vertically and horizontally. Just recently the app keeps crashing. I erased and redownloaded but still having issues. It needs an upgrade then I’m happy to give a better review. ### 1/5 — Not good anymore *2024-12-07* I’ve spent way too many hours playing this game. It used to be great but now it crashes constantly- often without even opening. I’ve deleted and reinstalled numerous times but I’m done trying. Sorry to say, but I won’t even try again. Goodbye! 😞😞 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 🥱 ### 1/5 — New low *2025-11-06, version 2.3.2* What’s the highest level you reached with the new Shut Down version? ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Pill mania *2025-03-29, version 2.3.2* Current game has problems suggest you go back to original or fix this one ### 1/5 — Force closes after ads *2025-03-26* Every time I try to play the game within the last couple months, the game force closes after an ad. When I reopen the game, it continues to force close. I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing happens each time. The only way it’ll keep going is if I play a few rounds and stop and play a few rounds and stop before an ad comes up. But as soon as the ad comes up, it force closes and won’t let me play again until I delete and reinstall the app. WHAT IS HAPPENING?! ### 1/5 — Keeps shutting off *2025-02-26, version 2.3.2* You download the game, it works for one game, then every time you try to play it it shuts off. You go back into it and then it shuts off again. You have to delete it to reinstall it just to play one game. ### 1/5 — Hot or gone *2025-02-05, version 2.3.2* The game is fun while it stays on but shuts down all the time ### 1/5 — Help *2025-01-18, version 2.3.2* Game is not working ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 😥 ### 5/5 — Pill mania HD si Good *2024-12-28, version 2.3.2* Esta muy Bien tráeme una pizza ### 5/5 — Addictive.. *2024-12-09, version 2.3.2* I have played this game for the past few years but since the latest Apple update it crashes & I keep losing my high score! Is there anything you can do to fix this? ### 5/5 — Having fun *2023-07-08, version 2.3.2* I’m having fun playing this game. Lol. 😄 ### 5/5 — SUPERB *2023-05-10, version 2.3.2* Since the first time I played Tetris on the Amiga in mid 80 ‘s ,I have loved this type of game..bubbleburst/ kurishi etc ..And this stands at the top with those games…plus even my grandchildren can enjoy this simple to play (hard to master) game ### 5/5 — Great fun game! *2022-09-23, version 2.3.2* This is similar to the Dr Mario on Nintendo. Fun game and limited ads. No glitches that I’ve seen just a fun time waster. ### 5/5 — Love!! *2022-05-17* I have played this game for years and absolutely love it. Be careful it is super addictive. Just wish there was a way to pay for it to avoid the ads… ### 5/5 — I like it! *2021-01-17* Works just like the original Dr. Mario. Button placement can make for frustrating gameplay sometimes, but overall it’s a lot of fun. Better that the revamped Dr. Mario in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Rất hay *2019-05-28, version 2.3.2* Game rất hay ### 5/5 — PillMania takes me back to the 80’s *2019-03-19* Was blown away at how much fun this game is. Takes me back to my parents living room in the 80’s. If you were addicted to Dr. Mario, then stand by to relapse!!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
