This is good but a few suggestions

I love the game, but a few suggestions-- I would really like if the falling were implimented better. The falling now feels  slow, especally in tate mode. The original game had the pills falling much faster. Another big quality of life problem is the speed of the send-down for up. It should only do ONE per press. Right now if you hold it down for too long it will send multiple pills. This ruins the game if you press the button  for one second too long. Additionally, the way that works is a little jenky, as you can force a pill over another if you put it vertically and then horizontally as it falls. 

After more playing, menu is buggy. Sometimes after starting a game the screen won't change the background, so you're playing a game you can't really see over the game-select screen. This has started to happen pretty frequently with me, and so I can't really reccommend the game to anyone considering buying it right now.

  • as for the falling, it's not that it's slower, it's that it animated smoother. The NES version only shows when the tile moves a full grid space. My version increments it so that it animates through the grid space
  • as for dropping multiple pills, I have fixed that so it only drops 1 until you let go of the button
  • as for the menu bug, I have fixed that

Thank you for the suggestions/bug report

Thank you SO MUCH for the fixes, I wasn't  sure you were active but it is good to see you are :)

Will try this out today
