ibb and obb is the rare game that puts all its focus on co-op. If you have a friend to sit down with you'll find a beautiful and challenging game that tests your wits, reflexes and your ability to work as a team. Casual gamers stay away!

A colourful puzzle platformer you should not miss out on if you have a co-op buddy to play it with, because it can get pretty frustrating on your own. It will deliver multiple “eureka!” moments that make puzzle games so great. [October 2013 p.95]

Beautiful and difficult in equal measures - better when played with a partner. [Nov 2013, p.71]

This is an overlooked and underrated gem of a puzzle platformer. The aesthetics are wondrous. Art style and music are perfect. It's challenging and charming and I wish more people gave this game the credit it deserves. The Switch version is a bummer because you have to play co-op. Still worth a buy but on PS3 or any other medium you can go solo it's so dang good.

Boring really. Doesn't have any other purpose other than moving forward. No explanation of these points that keep coming up, or if there's a purpose to the yellow balls. My friend and I got bored after 20 minutes and stopped.

A platformer that really makes you think! With a gorgeously simplistic art style, charming music and animation this is a truly amazing game. It's easy to learn but difficult to master and forces you to solve puzzles in a refreshingly unique way. Worth the money!

A great co-op platform game that requires some strong platforming skill but is largely based on terrific puzzles. Artistic direction is great and challenge is very high (especially if you're aiming at 100% completion). There are some minor issues, mechanics are pretty simple and there basically is no single player, but it's still a great game.

Ibb and Obb is not the most creative or visually striking platformer, but it’s one of the more satisfying and challenging cooperative experiences you’ll find.

One of the best co-op experiences I've ever had. The level design and soundtrack are simply mesmerizing. Great bonding experience, play with a close friend and have some laughs. The single player version is practically impossible for me, I wish they made the other character AI instead of having the user control both guys with the two sticks. Probably my favorite indie game this year, next to Hotline Miami. 10/10

On the couch co-op at its best. I am currently playing with a non gamer. We both love Ibb and Obb. Laughing our we through the levels. Some are extremely difficult. Beautiful, challenging and best of all fun.

Ibb & Obb is a game that’s really at its best when playing with a friend and exploring the game’s collage of elements, as you try to puzzle your way through the obstacles and challenges ahead.

Behind the playful exterior of Ibb & Obb you’ll find a cooperative puzzle gem. Playing with gravity works phenomenally well and solving puzzles is gratifying. Ibb & Obb is far from perfect with its slightly monotonous gameplay and lack of a good reward system. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that Ibb & Obb offers a cooperative puzzle experience that from time to time reminds you of Portal.

ibb & obb brings a fresh idea to platforming and is filled with challenging puzzles. Its art style and gameplay are exceptional, but its lack of narrative and rewards, and a heavy two-player focus, leave little to compel solo players.

It’s not perfect, and it’s certainly not meant to be played alone, but Ibb & Obb is still worth checking out for those that enjoy solving puzzles with a friend.

At first looks like a kid's game but it's a great coop puzzle game definitely worth your time if you have someone to play with. It's simple concept makes it easy to learn and pick up but the puzzles are challenging, fun and unique. Give it a try!
