PillPop - Match 3

[b]pillpop[/b] is a really fun match-3 of the 'click groups of things' persuasion and it offers a surprising amount of customization. [b]2 game types[/b] are available: in [u]pillpop[/u] you're clicking pills that have at least 2 more of the same color next to them, either another pill or a virus, but the latter is not clickable. 3 same-colored pills turn into a rainbow pill that can be matched with anything and it's possible to cover a lot of ground with it. [u]viruspop[/u] is a lot easier, you're clicking groups of viruses and the only pills are rainbow ones created from bigger groups. both game types can be played on small (8x8), normal (10x10) and big (12x12) boards with 4 or 5 colors and in [b]3 game modes:[/b] [u]zen[/u] is untimed and ends at level 20, [u]blitz[/u] is a 2-minute score attack and [u]survive[/u] lasts until the board is filled. it's a bit like tetris, what with new rows appearing after certain intervals. I found zen a bit tedious, it takes a while to finish, but the other two are a lot of fun and survive gets really crazy on higher levels. the presentation is fine. [b]the graphics have that '90s shareware vibe[/b] for those who remember, cute viruses with g…

My guess is that it would involve many years of study as well as learning on the job! Let’s face it, there are many viruses out there in our beautiful world of ours. Some are more deadly than others, but wouldn’t it be fabulous if you could eradicate any virus by simply playing a game of match 3? And that is exactly what you will be doing in a game of PillPop! PillPop is a casual match 3 puzzle game developed and self-published by Dexter Games on the 25th of July 2020 on the steam platform. The game has two types of gameplay with three modes each. The Pillpop is the first gameplay where you have to combine either 2 viruses + one pill of the same colour, or 1 virus + 2 pills of the same colour, in order to create a Match 3. While in the Viruspop gameplay, you’ll only be matching viruses of the same colour. The 3 modes of play are Zen, Blitz and Survival. Zen mode is easy, and the game will end when you reach the last level, which is level 20. I personally…

This is a good cheep quickie. Simple, clean and to the point. No clicking through endless menus or story bits. If you need 5 minutes or 5 hours this will do.

This game is great! I love that it has Blitz and Survival modes for a fun challenge and Zen modes for when I just want to relax.

PillPop - Match 3 is yet another of literally hundreds of mobile app Match-3/Bejewelled/Candy Crush ripoff games infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This one is notable for being considerably worse than all of the others. The difference with this Match-3 revolves around eliminating the bugs by clicking on pills in the grid. Your matching criteria is then the colour of the pills and the bugs (red pills kill red bugs etc). Clicking any pill will remove any and all adjacent pills and bugs of the same colour and their likewise matching adjacent pills and bugs, I guess you get the idea. But this is also really lame because all you end up doing is clicking on pills... incredibly boring stuff. At least some other match-3 games make you swipe or swap gem positions or something... none of that here. So lame. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC …
