Dr.Toad: The Doctor is IN is a Dr.Mario game turned action / RPG. It utilizes the Games Factory 1 engine in masterful quality, with delicious high-quality MIDI's and WAV's that'll make you cry tears of delight.
Onto the game: You play as Dr.Toad as you try to rid the cold virus in Mario's body. Similar to Dr.Mario, to defeat a virus, choose a color pill and launch it at said virus to clear them. Viruses get bigger and badder every so often, so you'd better upgrade your gear! To do so, upgrade the 5 stats in the shop: Health, Speed, Wellness, and your two weapons' launching speeds.
Wellness is the only one that's unclear in the game, so EXPLANATION TIME! After a single hit, you accumulate points of Unwellness which is increases damage taken by the amount of health the virus had before you took them down. If the virus has 2 health, you'd take 2 points of damage PLUS 2 points of Unwellness, then on the next hit of a virus with 1 health you'd take (Virus+Unwellness) or 3 damage. You do slowly recover, which is why it's recommended you upgrade early, but it gets expensive. If you managed to get 50 unwellness and hit by a virus with one health, imagine the damage you'd take!
Anyway I hope you enjoy the game. It took 3 weeks to make this (and even survived a corruption)!

MFGG really needed more Toad games, thank you for your contribution. This isn't sarcastic btw I just really like Toad.
...but I think I glitched the game lol. After I press the "Let's-a-Go!" button on the results screen I instantly clear next level. The gameplay seems fun otherwise thought, if not bit confusing.

Oh! That's because you died. When you have 0 HP the game instantly just goes to the resupply room screen.
Yeah, I should probably fix that.
EDIT: I submitted the patch, which includes the game over screen. Now you can die peacefully.

This was unexpectedly fun, and pretty hard. It requires you to think and react pretty quickly to not get hit. It's something that takes a while to get used to. I'm also a Toad fan (I always pick him in Mario Kart and Mario Party when he's a choice). He's just a really cute guy!

Thanks! I appreciate you both had fun. I'm glad you liked the mechanics, too.
@Mors What was confusing about it?

I know you meant this as a joke, but the gameplay is actually pretty legit. I ended up making it all the way to Level 19.
Your post does a good job explaining the "wellness" stat, but if you make an update to the game, you might want to add that information to the Readme file as well.
