Regardless of one's thoughts on the duration of the game and its experiental gameplay, the soundtrack is simply gorgeous. I find it to be one of the best game soundtracks from over the last several years, filled with interesting rhythms, hummable melodies, and (even!) grooves. Throw in some unusual instrumentation and you are easily reminded that in a game without words the music MUST carry all sense of emotion and feeling that you draw out of that game. This album does it with brio.
A fantastic game that is a more-than-worthy successor to the original Escape Goat! There are several hats for your goat to wear in-game that diversify the puzzles and allow for far more puzzling elements than just mere platforming (although there is still loads of that). Particularly nice is the addition of "mutators" upon completion/collection of sheep orbs that allow you to approach the puzzles - including some that you may not have been able to originally solve! - in new, potentially game-breaking, ways. It is a nice concession to those of us with bad reflexes, old age, or just mental fragility. I originally got this on Playstation 4, but vastly prefer the GOG version. Because it includes the soundtrack ... the first one was exceptional, and this one is too. Some games neglect the music accompaniment; suffice to say Magical Time Bean thankfully does not!
Fantastic puzzle-platformer that is a bit easier on your reaction times than many other of its ilk; a great balance of puzzling and unique mechanics (clones, warping, board rotation) that is a perfect combination of difficulty and pleasure. And there is quite a bit to keep you busy: 100 single player levels and another 30 (or more) for co-op! Well worth the full price, and a bargain if on sale. And don't sleep on the bonus soundtrack ... there are 8 tracks that barely exceed 10 minutes in play length but you will be humming them throughout the game (and after). The songs strike a delightful Xavier Cugat/kitsch vibe and are catchy as can be. "Dungeon" sounds like it is straight off a 1960's exotica lp!
