CheatCC says, "0-D Beat Drop isn't a revolutionary game, but it is a clever and fun one. The learning curve is steep for the first hour or so as you figure out the rules, but from there it's a matter of getting just a little better with each playthrough. With addictive gameplay and lots of different ways to play, 0-D Beat Drop makes itself a worthwhile buy for puzzle fans with a sense of rhythm."
Most puzzle games are simple enough for the youngest of gamers. But the music component of the gameplay, challenging CPU opponents (even on Easy Mode), and the confusing Beat-O-Matic might frustrate and discourage younger gamers and they may need some help from an older player. The many multiplayer modes for up to four players are great for families, though.
Tech-Gaming writes: "Over the years, I've had a peculiar relationship with most puzzlers. The liaison typically starts off hot and heavy, as I'm attracted by a novel game mechanic. Inevitably, that bewitching element loses its appeal, as I realize the game is nothing more than a variant of an existing amusement. The relationship inevitably expires as I move on to the next sparkling diversion. My name is DesertEagle, and I am a serial puzzle-gaming monogamist."
Matt writes "I think the most accurate metaphor would be to say that combining the two genres is like making a peanut butter and pudding sandwich. While some might appreciate the unique and somewhat tasty flavor, more then likely most people would chose to avoid that combination all together. 0D Beat Drop has a lot of things going for it but unfortunately the implementation of them is what makes the game fall a bit short."
