The Pill Game

Match four. Clear the viruses. Don't stack out. The Pill Game is a falling-capsule puzzle. Two-colour capsules drop into a bottle full of viruses. Line up four of the same colour in a row or a column and they're gone. Clear every virus on the board to take the level. Let the stack reach the top and the run is over. CHAINS ARE WHERE THE POINTS ARE Clearing a match makes the leftover halves fall, and if that fall clears another match, you've started a chain. Each step of a chain is worth double the one before it, up to eight times. Setting one up on purpose is the hardest thing in the game and the best-paying. TWENTY-ONE LEVELS, THREE SPEEDS Level 0 opens with four viruses. Level 20 opens with 84. Three gravity speeds decide how much time you get to think, and the faster you play, the more each virus is worth. Your best score is kept separately for each speed, so a careful run and a reckless one don't compete. TWO SOUNDTRACKS RUSH if you want to be pushed. DRIFT if you want to think. Both can be turned off. PLAY WITH SOMEONE • Online versus — start a match, send the join code or share the link, and play anyone, anywhere. No account and no sign-up. • Local versus — two players side by side on one screen, on iPad. FREE, WITH ONE PURCHASE The Pill Game is free and supported by ads. A single Remove Ads purchase takes every ad away for good — no subscription, no second ask.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dr. Virus at none against The Pill Game's 1. Dr. Virus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). The Pill Game's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
