Game Play - what does it look like?

Viruses are displayed in the playing field. Virus glows during the game load and becomes normal while playing. In general there are three types of viruses. These viruses are positioned in playing field at random order (this positioning is different for different games of same level).

This arcade style game was originally developed by Nintendo, released for the NES system. Later it was made available for the Gameboy and Gameboy Advanced.

The Game Boy version of the game is nearly identical to its NES counterpart. In keeping with the technical limitations of the device, the game features a playfield measuring eight-blocks by 15-blocks and viruses of black, white, and gray. In addition, levels increase in difficulty after level 20 and may be impossible. The Fever song was updated with a few extra musical notes and a slightly faster tempo.

How is Germ Doctor Played on your new iPhone?

There are four types of capsules, differentiated by color: red-red, yellow-yellow, blue-blue and red-yellow. The player must rotate and position these capsules on top of and alongside the viruses and other capsules in an effort to eliminate the viruses. Both viruses and capsules are eliminated when four or more objects of corresponding color are placed in a row or column. A player completes a level by eliminating all viruses on the playing field. The game will end if any capsules obstruct the stethoscope’s narrow neck at the top row of the field. The player can start at any one of 21 distinct levels (0-20), with levels up to 40 accessible by those who can clear level 20.

Levels are differentiated by virus counts, ranging from four at level 0 to 84 at levels 20 and higher. Above level 20, each level starts with 84 viruses, thus levels do not increase in difficulty past level 20. Much like Nintendo’s version of Tetris, the player may choose a level of difficulty to start, along with the game’s speed and a selection of background music. Three levels of speed can be chosen: low, medium and high. Choosing the low option will make the game’s background dark green, choosing the medium option will make the game’s background blue and choosing the high option will make the game’s background gray.

Two player gameplay in either version consists of two side-by-side playfields that can be level-adjusted according to the strength of each player. The first player to win three games wins the match. The objective is to be the first to clear the viruses or to block the opponent’s field to the top.

An added element is the ability to “rain” down blocks into the opponent’s playfield by clearing two, three, or four separate lines with a single vitamin (intentional branches of vitamin drops which exceed four lines cleared will be disregarded). An alternative method to raining four blocks is to clear four separate lines with two vitamins within the time between your opponents’ current vitamin and his next vitamin (two quick double-line clearances, in other words).

The colors of pills rained down upon the opponent correlates to the colors of the lines cleared. Again, a clearance of more than four lines in this respect will be disregarded.

So, What the heck is Germ Doctor?

Germ Doctor is a highly addictive game based on the popular classic DR Mario and Germ Busters, currently available on the Nintendo Wii and DS Lite.

Ask anyone who has played the game and they’ll tell you that they couldn’t put the game down once they started. It’s almost a cult craze.

The object of Germ Doctor is to eliminate all the germs on each level of the game.

Germs are spread across your playing field and to eliminate them, you need to direct the falling medication (from the top) onto the germs while at the same time creating 4 colors together in a row.

Although it seems easy, there are challenges along the way.

Germ Doctor is soon to be released as a downloadable application on the App Store.

Germ Doctor

Germ Doctor is an arcade style game which has the mechanics similar to Tetris the object of the game is to remove all viruses from playing field, this can be achieved by creating rows or columns using combination of DNA/Capsules or viruses.

If the DNAs reach top of the playing field, the game ends, however if you make a group of four of the same same colour the  DNA will be removed.
