Can This Get Any Cuter?
I know many will think this corney but I simply loved this very cute and bizzaar solitaire game. The graphics are adorable and Dr. Mal Pracrice? Seriously? Cartoon fun where you "treat" patients with a round of solitaire. I loved the sound effects and the music. This game is not for zoning out but for pure entertainment. There are power ups and trophies to win. Each round has three gold star to earn and they do get challenging as you progress. There is also a replay if you want. Fun Fun and Fun is how I would describe this game. Gotto to go back and get those gold stars and help our insane Doc. I dont know, call me whacky, but I really do love this game.

fun for a short while
A solitaire card game with a single type of game, many different layouts but plays the same. Attempt to play cards one higher or one lower than the "base card" which reveals new cards to play in the stacks of cards.
Run out of plays, and you turn over a new base card from the deck, and continue. Rewards are given for playing well, and playing fast, including power ups such as "undo" and a play any card option. Occasionally extra spare base cards are given and can be stored for later use.
A whack a mole (or don't whack the mole actually, whack the quack doctors!) mini game comes up occasionally to earn extra deck cards
At least two, and later three games must be played for each patient, with the idea being to clear enough cards to collect stars, and collect enough stars to diagnose the patient
The humor is good with the various afflicted patients all have strange and funny disorders. There are trophies to collect and a patient board to allow revisiting patients to collect further stars.
After playing 40 minutes of the demo I felt tired with the solitaire game itself. and as that is the base of the game, the rest of the game surrounding it wasn't enough to make it worth a buy for me.
I definitely recommend giving the demo a whirl though, and seeing for yourself if maybe the game is for you!

Dr. Hootenahalf!!
So much fun! Lots of bells and whistles!
The card game is a standard chain type, building up and/or down based on card face value. What sets this game apart are the sound effects, patient names, power-ups (like an x-ray that lets you see the next card but you get a reverse image) and a whack-a-doc mini-game that gets you extra cards for your draw deck.
Very entertaining.
The music is great, too!

I've seen better solitaires
Hello,
I love a good solitaire game but I'm at a loss with this one. It seems you finish whether or not you clear the cards. I'm used to having to redo levels if you don't clear all the cards so I find this WAY too easy. Will go back to Faerie Solitaire.

Made me smile
A very nice cartoon style card game.
The fun characters and back ground is nice and clear.
Okay, it is a simple game of cards which also has power ups.
You can choose the level but neither are difficult, the colour of the cards and or the patient. I found it fun although not one I would buy.
A simple game well done.

Just what the doctor ordered
I like what I have seen so far of this game, the premise is funny, the patient's ailments are witty and the overall style is very nice, I love slapstick in world where everyone is after hyper-reality, this is a game, it plays and looks like a game and I love that about it.

Looks and sounds like Unwell Mel
This game reminded me instantly of Unwell Mel - at least it looks and sounds very much like it. Though Unwell Mel is Match 3.
Unfortunately I didn't find it as entertaining as Unwell Mel. It lacked a bit of a challenge - even Tricky Mode was quite easy (in the 30 minutes I played). So maybe there is more challenge later on.Not bad, not that good, but worth a try.

Addictive and amusing
This is quite fun, if you are looking for some humour and not a lot of brain strain. The cartoons are cute and the writing is funny. The play is standard up and down form and you have extras earned along the way. A lot of solitaire games offer more but you could sit and play this for quite a long time...enjoyable and easy.

Corny & Fun!
This is the one higher/one lower type of solitaire game, so in that it's typical. Cartoon-y graphics, a silly sense of fun and a wacky story line make this one a buy for me. If you didn't come with a sense of humor installed, though, you may want to try a different solitaire game.

A very different kind of way to play solitaire
There are many different ways to play solitaire. This is another way. Pick one of the three different pictures from the bottom and then you can play. If you like to play so card games this is a good game. The grapics are good and so is the sound. I would recommend the game.
