Dr. Doc

Arcade

Overview

Dr. Doc presents a charmingly bizarre arcade experience where players step into the white coat of the aptly named Dr. Doc, a physician tasked with curing mutant animals trapped in doorless rooms. Early impressions suggest a bright, accessible puzzle game that cleverly uses color mechanics, though the limited feedback indicates this might be a niche experience rather than a genre standout. The core appeal lies in its cheerful presentation and straightforward yet engaging medical mayhem.

Colorful Medical Mayhem

Gameplay revolves around a delightfully absurd premise: players navigate compact environments collecting fruit-based medicines from the floor, balancing them precariously on the doctor's head, then hurling them at afflicted creatures. The central mechanic requires careful color matching - each mutant animal responds only to medicine of its corresponding hue. This creates simple but satisfying puzzles where players must not only aim accurately but understand how colors blend and interact. A dedicated help screen assists players in mastering these chromatic relationships, making the game accessible despite its unusual premise.

The cheerful presentation stands out immediately, with bright visuals creating a welcoming atmosphere. The challenge level remains deliberately approachable, focusing more on relaxed fun than intense difficulty. Throwing medicines at patients while avoiding malpractice lawsuits becomes a surprisingly joyful loop, especially when successfully curing a particularly troublesome mutant.

It's bright, happy, not too difficult and fun. What more could you ask for?

In this little arcade gem, you play as a doctor with the unbelievable name of Dr. Doc who has been given the task of curing animals in rooms with no doors. The problem with the animals? They're all mutants! In what appears to be a stock RPG environment, Dr. Doc does his work, going around collecting various fruit from off the floor, carrying them on his head and throwing the medicine at his patients. While not facing lawsuits, that is. The game features a fairly small playing window and lots of colour perception and knowledge of how the colours mingle is essential (there is a help screen). Certain animals will only be cured when they come into contact with medicine of their own colour. It's bright, happy, not too difficult and fun. What more could you ask for?
