Critic reviews
- 9.0While its implementation is sound, the way to search for a partner is limited, ands I found myself finishing previously completed levels for the sake of my partner repeatedly as I couldn’t search for one that was on the same stage as I was. When it’s all said and done, ibb and obb is a great puzzle game, built from the ground up with Co-Op in mind, and it’s an absolute blast to grab a like-minded buddy to tackle this challenging and highly rewarding game.
- 8.0Ultimately, Ibb and Obb is a charmer. It's a charmer that'll slap you around, and sometimes make you feel like an idiot, but it's a charmer nonetheless. It's a shame there isn't a more robust one-player mode, because the two-player aspect does limit this game in some respects. But if you do have people you can play with – and whose skills you trust – this'll give you a thoroughly enjoyable gaming workout that'll test you to your limits.
- 5.0Ibb & Obb offers an hour of intriguing ideas but loses steam too quickly. After that time, it will just sit on your hard drive unplayed as something newer and more resonant comes along. It’s a shame because there are some nice ideas here. Unfortunately, they’re just not fleshed out.
- 8.3Ibb & Obb is an excellent 2D puzzle-platformer with a unique gravitational mechanic and well-crafted co-op play. What it lacks in a (viable) online option and a separate single-player mode it makes up for with brilliant puzzles, and the variety and difficulty of those puzzles makes the somewhat repetitive level design easy to forgive. It’s a must-have for its great cooperative experience — just make sure you pick a good partner.
- ibb & obb brings a fresh approach to traditional platformering and provides a great challenge with its various puzzles. Its overall art style and setting are executed superbly and are met with equally polished gameplay. Unfortunately, its lack of narrative and focus on two-player co-op fails to provide lasting interest and greatly increases difficulty for the solo gamer.
- 7.0Ibb and Obb delights in punishment. Beneath the whimsical exterior lies a devious and clever puzzle game that makes you curse gravity for being so strict. Although optional collectibles are hidden throughout each stage, simply reaching the end should be challenge enough for most people. Even though you're bound to butt heads during the tougher sections, working in tandem with a friend is incredibly satisfying. It's worth putting up with the occasional bouts of frustration to see this adventure through to the end. Ibb and Obb should never be attempted alone, but offers inventive puzzle solving for those who travel with a friend by their side.
Gamer reviews
8 for now
I'm giving it an 8 for now because I haven't finished the game yet. I don't know how many levels I've played, so I don't know if I'm near to end the of the game. The characters are cutie-cute except for the little black spiky kind of annoying balls where they can only be killed by passing through or jumping to their white balls that is above or below them, which is amazing to look at. And it's a puzzle game where two players has to work together to conquer (char) its obstacles. The game shows, this can be played up to 2 consoles, but I haven't really tried it. So we stick to 1 console but 2 players, meaning it's a co-op game! Perfect to play with friends or whomever you like to play this with.
