Seen a lot of folks here hating this, which I get, but I kind of like it. I mean, it's pretty run-of-the-mill as far as mobile puzzlers go. But I've always appreciated Dr. Mario as a puzzle game where you always need to be thinking 3 steps ahead with a good way of visualizing how your next few moves will play out. I think this plays with that aspect pretty well, even though I think a straight puzzle game is probably the least interesting adaptation of the franchise.
Main problems with it are just general mobile game woes. Limited plays, which leads to some levels that are just a touch more difficult than they need to be, since they want you to spend real money. Also working upside-down is really hard to process. It doesn't help that manually moving pieces into gaps is super finnicky. It's so hard to move them through walls and whatnot. I also JUST realized that you can move individual viruses when they start falling which is a REVELATION. Overall better than I was expecting, but doesn't really scratch an itch in the same way something like Miracle Cure did for me.
