A well-crafted game with few glaring problems and a high, but manageable learning curve. I think its replay value is hurt somewhat by a lack of Wi-Fi play, where a player vs. player time attack mode could probably work really well, but since so many parts of the game are rock-solid, I’m willing to easily forgive it for not being present here.
-
It will appeal to puzzle fans immensely; but the lack of multiplayer and slow, abstract puzzle-solving will not be for most.
-
If tile-pattern puzzles are your cup of tea, this game might be the honey.
-
Honeycomb Beat just isn't as addictive or substantial as it needs to be to make it a classic.
-
This would have made a really good option in a collection of puzzle games, but it has a hard time standing on its own.
-
Edge MagazineThe dozens of pre-prepared puzzles can be fiendish enough in themselves, but the option of dragging modifier icons on to tiles, changing the pattern with which they flip, enables high scores just as surely as it does enormous headaches. [June 2007, p.92]

AceGamezUnfortunately Honeycomb Beat is devoid of quality and originality, and while I'd love to do a Jeremy Clarkson and go on drooling about its redeeming features for another few paragraphs after slagging it off so badly, it just doesn't have any - apart from its massive size, but sadly you'll be bored before you've even scratched the surface.
