Bought this because I thought Tetris was overpriced. Check screen shots to see if this is what you want. I find it partially subs for Tetris but is nowhere near as entertaining, definitely boring for younger kids and frustrating.

This game is easy to use - you simply tap the touch screen to manipulate the puzzles. These puzzles are fun and they give you hints at the end of each one so you can do better next time. I like the different play modes - there are 2 - one an untimed puzzle and the other is sort of tetris like. There is also a tutorial mode. You should do a few untimed puzzles after the tutorial to get the hang of it. Then you will really like it! :) Have fun!

Honeycomb Beat marks another puzzler release on the DS, which already has it's own hefty line of solid puzzle games. Despite it's derivative feel, gameplay, and overall delivery though, Honeycomb Beat manages to provide enough fun and challenge to make it pretty solid overall. When first poppong in Honeycomb Beat, you'll notice an uncanny resemblance to Lumines as you use the stylus to tap the touch screen in an effort to change the colors of the hexagon-shaped grids that resemble, well, honeycombs. Touching said hexagon in turn changes the color of the surrounding ones and so, and that's basically the kick of the game. Like most other puzzlers, the game gets harder the longer you play, but there isn't much reason to stick around far into the game. There are 200 puzzles to play through, but the real challenge of the game doesn't become apparent until much later, which by that time, you may have already lost interest. There just isn't much incentive to keep playing through like that

Where some games which claim to be puzzle games are actually falling block games, which there is nothing wrong with, but this is actually a puzzle game.
To explain how it works, you tap a cell of the hexagon grid and it and all cells which contain a common edge with it will flip to the other color. All you need to do is get rid of the color and turn the shape they give you white. That may sound simple, but it is very hard. In fact, it seems to be the consensus on the internet that Level 4 puzzle 10 is impossible. (So skip that one.) These puzzles do not have time limits, which is nice. You want solve in the minumum number of moves, and it will show you that number. You are not able to go past 10 over the best solution, but the reset puzzle button is right there on the screen and refreshing is instantaneous (and doesn't mess with the music).
What makes me enjoy this game the most, besides the clever puzzles, is the unlockables. They are doled out generously and you know how many
