I'm playing a different game (board, card, pen/paper, verbal, drinking, party, arcade, carnival, recess, sport, etc.) every day for a year! Detailed posts will be shared here on the blog. For more consistent (but shorter) posts, check out www.instagram.com/oneyearofgames

Virus Buster
This is a game hidden inside of Brain Age 2 for the Nintendo DS that would be a total knockoff of Dr. Mario if it wasn't made by the same company.
You can only play Virus Buster once you've done your Daily Training for the day (but you only have to do one exercise to unlock it for the day). You're told before it starts that it isn't training, but it's for relaxation.
The music is the same as one of the modes in Dr. Mario for NES, but like a soothing, lullaby-style remix of it. It's nice. And a little weird.
You can only rotate the pills in one direction, by tapping on them, but - at least in Easy mode - they fall really slowly so it's not really an issue.
Also, if you have "remainder" pill pieces after you get four in a row that disappear, they also fall slowly and you can actually grab those and move them around if you want to, which I think is pretty cool.
I am pleased to announce that I'm just as good at this game as I am at regular Dr. Mario.
