What Makes Retro Meds: Capsule Puzzle Stand Out
Get ready for a fever of 90s nostalgia! Retro Meds brings back the classic virus-busting puzzle action you grew up with.
A mysterious outbreak has filled the lab with colorful viruses, and only you have the cure! Strategically drop and rotate falling capsules to match three or more of the same color, either vertically or horizontally. Line them up with the viruses to clear them from the jar!
How to Play:
Rotate and move the falling two-color capsules.
Match 3 or more of the same color (capsule or virus) to clear them.
Wipe out all the viruses in the jar to win the level!
Be careful! The jar fills up fast. Don't let the capsules stack to the top!

Community Insight:
Its a fine game except you cant save the levels youve beaten! So every time you start play, it gets back to the very beginning level. Also you cant choose levels neither.
After playing about 6 times and buying the No Ad version, it completely locked us out. Could no longer play it. We deleted it.
At the morning we were level 498 and suddenly we went to play then we find im in level 51 what just happened.
We only really came here because the youtube ad for this game stole Brentalflosss Dr. Mario song. Anyway… The games… Really boring. Thats about it. There are probably tons of ads but we didnt use internet when playing and we dont want to bother. Its not good is our point.
Worst than original million times.
Pretty terrible – tried to play and there are multiple ads that popped up and we couldnt even get the game started… Moving on to the next option.
We realize this is the free version but it shouldnt lock out the player. We were able to play several times, even with the annoying ads which were expected, but now they have disabled the game. Its worth the time it takes to install it! We just went to Target and purchased the Nintendo Classic with this game, and many other Arcade games, already installed! MUCH NICER…. BTW, the one star was mandatory or we would have rated it 0.
This game either crashes right when you open it or when youre in the beginning of the game There's also no pause or menu button once you start a game.
