I'm playing with updating my old NES Dr.Mario clone after finally getting to play it with someone else showed that there's a lot of stuff that really needed fixed, or that could be better.

It felt cool to get to play a Dr.Mario that was fast though.

I feel like this game deserves to get to be its own thing and have enough polish that it stands on its own, instead of just being a little bonus in a different game. The amount of polish is kind of sad to look back at but I can fix it up now. I guess just giving it some distinct visual style past "simple looking graphics on top of a white background" would go a long way...

And now Squirrel Domino has 8 backgrounds you can pick from and suddenly the game feels way more polished. I also made the backgrounds display during multiplayer battles too.

There's been a bunch of other updates and tweaks and I think I'm generally feeling pretty good about the game now:
