In HoneyLand, a charming casual puzzle game from Remix Games and Afil Games, you’ll find yourself guiding Mr. Fluff, a honey-loving bear, through a series of 30 meticulously crafted levels. Let’s dive into our HoneyLand review to see what makes this game a sweet escape!
Welcome to the vibrant island of HoneyLand—a true paradise for those who live for honey. Here, Mr. Fluff, a bear with an insatiable appetite, eagerly arrives to indulge in this sticky delight. It’s up to you to help him savor every drop and reach the legendary honey volcano.
The adventure in HoneyLand is straightforward yet engaging. Each level provides a limited number of move cards, dictating how you will maneuver Mr. Fluff to his goal. If a plan doesn’t quite work out, a quick restart lets you try again. A handy feature is the blueprint preview, which offers a sneak peek of Mr. Fluff’s next landing spot before you commit to a move.
Starting with levels 1 through 6, the gameplay introduces you to the basics in a gentle and approachable manner. As you reach level 7, the complexity increases, requiring careful planning or a bit of trial and error to advance. By level 10, you’ll encounter the added twist of jumping over ledges, which spices up the puzzles. Level 20 throws in an additional challenge by scattering move cards throughout the stage, pushing you to strategize even more to complete the level successfully.
While the game’s mechanics shine, the bear model does feel somewhat generic, reminiscent of stock assets from a developer’s toolkit, with facial features that are a bit peculiar. Despite this, navigating through the map levels is smooth although there were some difficulties with camera angles in later jumps.
Trophy hunters will appreciate the game’s accessible Platinum trophy. The distribution includes 6 Bronze, 8 Silver, and 8 Gold trophies, earned by completing the first 10 levels, restarting levels 15 times, and collecting move cards from level 20 onwards. For those who need a little assistance on this journey, the HoneyLand Trophy Guide is an excellent resource to help you snag that Platinum trophy in about 30 minutes!
HoneyLand delivers a fun puzzle experience with just the right amount of challenge. The puzzles are thoughtfully designed, though the overall presentation, particularly Mr. Fluff’s appearance, could use some polish. Nevertheless, this game is a solid recommendation for puzzle enthusiasts and those looking to add to their Platinum trophy collection. Priced at $4.99, HoneyLand is a Cross-Buy title, allowing you to access both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions without any extra cost.
