The basic concept of BeeKeeper-2D app for Android is the same as Minesweeper. But here, you’re dealing with honeycombs.

If you can apply some logic, you can clear the whole board in a short order.
BeeKeeper-2D provides a variety of game play options and modes, therein making it an interesting experience for the players. The classic mode is the one which is much similar to Minesweeper game. The Progressive Mode (3 sets of 12 levels each), on the other hand, has a number of designed levels that progressively gets difficult as you move up the ladder. The third mode, Arcade (2 sets of 10 levels), has two different play styles: ‘Timed challenge’, wherein you compete against the clock, and ‘additive’ mode wherein the board gets bigger and bigger each time you play. The game has over 60 re-playable levels. Players can make use of a selection of power ups to change the game play. One such power up provides a sneak preview of the position of bees in the board. But it is only suitable for smaller boards. Another power up provides a failsafe bonus life in case you tap on the wrong cell. The graphics is good. BeeKeeper-2D game is also pretty stable and responsive.
