Dr.Roland (Amstrad CPC)
The patient is suffering a terrible virus infection, and your role as Dr.Roland is to get rid of those ugly and funky viruses, throwing them colored vitamin capsules.
If four elements of the same color get together, all of them will disappear, and you will be one step closer to cure the infection.
Dr.Roland is a tetrislike game that you can enjoy alone with your Amstrad CPC, or in a fun battle with a friend side to side.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your comment.
I was working on the controls for a long time, and after trying different approches , I finally implemented a system that changes the amount of times that the keyboard is checked depending on the speed of the pill... but, you are right sometimes the keyboard scan is too quick and the pill moves two positions at a time.
I will try to have a look at it again , in order to check if I can do something to avoid this.
Regards.
