The Cave supports up to 3 player local co-op play. Sadly there is no online co-op.
Pro Cheesy jokes of the best kind
The Cave has a good sense of humor within, something expected when considering the game was created by the same people as The Secret of Monkey Island.
Pro Characters based on 7 deadly sins
Each character represents one of the seven deadly sins making the game a bit of a moral tale.
Pro Lots of replayability
Bean's Quest has things to find, challenges based on complexity and the amount of times you've jumped in each level. Trying to hit everything in each level can become addictive.
Pro Easy to control but very hard to master
This is a mobile platform game which is easy to control but very hard to master. You can only tell your character to go left or right, jumping happens continuously. This strikes the balance between control and timing that make all the best platformers great.
Pro Great visuals
The visuals may seem a little jarring to begin with but they turn out to be superb. Created by Melbourne artist Jagi.

Some stages do not offer gameplay for all co-op players. Although the co-op is drop in drop out, certain points of the game do not offer anything for the other players to do.
Con Bean's Quest is short
The length of the game is a bit short.
