Beat Drop is a superb puzzle game with loads of depth, excellent accessibility and more modes and options than you can shake a stick at.

IGN

The ability to analyze your own music and wrap the gameplay around it makes 0-D Beat Drop a standout puzzle game on Xbox Live Arcade. It definitely borrows a lot from similar games (you might even say steals) but the demanding rhythmic component here makes the end result unique.

Cheat Code Central

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.

In life, you tend to move to the beat of your own drum, and with 0-D Beat Drop, you can play to that beat as well.

0D Beat Drop is a breath of fresh air in a genre that seems to continue to rest on its laurels. Sure it will not be for everyone, but it offers enough new ideas to make it worth your while.

A complex puzzler. [Feb 2010, p.88]

0-D Beat Drop is lacking in the strategy department, but makes up for it with its furious speed. Being able to create your own soundtrack with the Beat-o-Matic is an especially nice feature. [Mar 2010]

0-D Beat Drop is more of a variant on games that you've probably played before than a unique experience

Gaming Age

For 10 bucks, the game does pass the time and can become quite addicting for anyone who enjoys games like Tetris or Columns. When put into that scenario, it seems like a great bargain... which it is!

Worth Playing

Despite the negative aspects pointed out in this review, 0D Beat Drop really is a solid puzzle game. The mechanics and the gimmick make it a good alternative for puzzle fanatics who are looking for something different from their routine. It's just too bad that the implementation of some of those mechanics wasn't as polished as one would have hoped.
