ibb & obb

Team up with a partner and jump through colorful levels while occasionally changing gravity.

At first glance “ibb & obb” looks like a regular platformer, but there’s a twist. Each level is (horizontally) divided into two areas, each with their own gravitational pull. You can alternate between both areas by using portals that are scattered through the world. It’s a simple and elegant concept, because it immediately creates tricky challenges.

“ibb & obb” is made for exactly two people: One player takes control of ibb, the other one slips into the role of obb. The game really encourages you to work together. If you jump on top of an enemy, it drops some collectable coin-like objects. These can only be obtained by your partner, who must be on the other side of the platform at the same time. Furthermore, you can stand on top of each other and combine your jumps to reach higher platforms. The game is full of small details like that. All of them encourage (or even require) good teamwork.

“ibb & obb” is a colorful puzzle game with an interesting concept and well designed levels. It’s a calm, but challenging experience for two good friends.

Why you should play it:

• The game’s concept is very elegant, you don’t even need a tutorial.
• Abstract, but surprisingly charming visuals and good sound design.
• Includes 15 levels and some additional hidden worlds.
