You are desperate, unemployed, ugly, talentless and, above all, broke. In your darkest hour, you turn to your only available avenue for income: enlisting in a shady underground government clinical trial. Can you withstand the chaotic side effects of the experimental pills and come out slightly less broke and maybe even alive?

  Take Your Pills is a puzzle game, in which the player must venture through randomly generated mazes containing traps and enemies, whilst taking a variety of pills in order to unlock the exit. As each trial is completed, more and more pills are required to advance with the combination of accumulated side-effects making each maze trickier than the last.

  Will you be able to survive all 10 trials and make your mark on the global high-scores?

  Or will you fall, just another failed test subject?

  Instructions

  Gather enough pills to open the exit and get out.

  Rinse and repeat until you've escaped all 10 trials.

  Simple.

  After taking a pill, if you believe you know what side-effect it has, you may also mark this pill with an icon in order to remind yourself of its side-effect when it crops up in the future. While doing so has no direct influence on gameplay, it can greatly help make tactical decisions in the future, in regards to which pills to take first, and which pills to stay well away from.

  Best of luck, and don't forget to not die.
