Pill Puzzle

Weird how some solutions seem that would work but don't. Also if you don't use all items the game won't consider your solution. Feels like the devs didn't consider all possible solutions to the puzzles. Still fun and relaxing though.

Very straightforward push-the-object-into-the-right-spot game. That's all it is, really, I felt like like its fun peaked with the first few levels. The theme feels as generic as it can be, the gameplay does not offer anything interesting and the puzzle aspect is not very challenging. Everything works as it should, but that alone does not make the game worthwhile. Perfectionist's note: 100% is achieved after beating the last level; it's very straightforward.

Pill Puzzle is a casual puzzle game, and unfortunately fulfills several of the negative preconceptions one might associate with label. First of all, it's not remotely challenging for the first 40 (of 60) levels. Secondly, early on it introduces a pill-rotating mechanic. You expect it to be used in puzzles, but instead, it's pure pointless busywork, and forgetting to do so *will* make you fail levels. And thirdly, the game is inconsistent at handling collisions: moves that look like they clearly should trigger a collision are sometimes accepted, and conversely, moves that look like they should be okay sometimes trigger a collision, thus failing the level. Naturally, there's no undo to mitigate either of these problems. With an undo, this would be a classic "7/10" barely-worth-playing game. Without one, I can't recommend it at all.

Great theme for the type of puzzles that you faced to solve. Makes you feel like a virtual pharmacist packaging up an assortment of pills. The game mechanics are pretty simple you can rotate each pill while also being able to completely swap the starting location if the level allows it. The eye in the top right reveals the way the pills must be package which is important the further you progress. A lot of the levels are easy to medium in difficulty with some being a bit hard, but far and few in between. Overall rating 7/10 based on length and difficulty. There are sixty levels which can be completed in an hour or so for 100% achievement completion.

Great theme for the type of puzzles you need to solve. It really gives you the feeling of being a virtual pharmacist, packaging up pills. The game mechanics are simple—you can rotate each pill and sometimes even swap their starting locations if the level allows. The eye in the top right shows you how the pills need to be packaged, which becomes more important as you progress. Most of the levels are easy to medium in difficulty, with a few harder ones sprinkled in. Overall, it's a fun game that's worth a try, but the length and difficulty don’t make it super challenging. With 60 levels, you can finish the game in about an hour or so, especially if you're aiming for 100% achievement completion. I’d rate it a 7/10 based on its length and difficulty.

I wish there was a mixed recommended button for this game. It definitely has it's pros and cons as a puzzle game. It has a very nice background music but the sounds of pill popping into the places are a bit annoying. Another thing that is annoying is that you have to put in a particular solution in some levels. There are multiple ways pills can be sorted in their places but the game only decides to accept the way it was originally planned to be solved, so you need to figure out another solution even though you got it correctly. There are also small prompts you can put up so you know which colour goes where in the tab which is really helpful because at first i thought i could do it however i wanted. Halfway into the game you also get a "mystery pill" and the only explanation to it is blinking, to try and make you click it and discover what it does. I'd like it better if they have put it down textually as they explained the basics at the start of the game because it is a bit confusing. ...

So it's generally a obtuse, no fun, slow, rule inconsistent and unpleasant to look/hear/click mess. I like minimalist puzzles, but this one falls really really short in many aspects that I'll try to list in no specific order. -Very slow-paced for no reason (animations, restarts, level complete etc. all of it) -Piece (pill) turning ""mechanic"" that serves absolutely no porpuse at all, and if you miss it the level autofails and restarts. It's like the devs were going to turn it into a feature but did not and left it in the game anyway. AND it uses your right mouse button, which could be instead used for actual commands that you will use at every level such as 'C' (changing pill placement) and 'P' (looking at objective). -As mentioned above, autofails and restarts on many "mistakes" it induces you to commit. But not always, idk why but some mistakes are allowed and others not for no reason. So that's double bad. -Also related to above, no Undo function, but with autofail that would be...

Nice puzzle game. Made my brain itch.

Very simple puzzle game. Not very challenging, nice relaxing music and experience. There are no graphics options, so can be buggy on smaller screens.

This is a short, simple puzzle game. 60 levels is fair for a $1 game. This is a new and interesting way to do a puzzle game. I enjoyed it and completed it quickly. Doesn't have any replay-ability but it's a good game to play through once.
