Pros
Pro Polished art design
The graphics, music and voice acting are all top notch. Considering the amount of money this game made through its Kickstarter, it is no surprise the extent of the polish of the game.
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.
Cons
Con Poor story in second act
The second act of the game has an increasingly incoherent story that explains very little of what is going on. Considering the first act ends with a cliffhanger and many questions to be asked, to see the second half explain almost none of it makes for a frustrating story.
Con Bean's Quest is short
The length of the game is a bit short.
