The Pill Game

Features
Read full description

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. • Magic mode — switch it on in any 2-player match: clear a virus with a halo to help your own board, or one with horns to hit your rival's. 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.
