How co-op works
Exactly two players solve the campaign locally or online in a world split between upward and downward gravity. Partners cross gravity boundaries, build momentum, activate mechanisms, and position themselves to open routes or create safe landings that the other cannot reach alone.
About this game
Ibb & Obb is a puzzle platformer built entirely around dual-gravity teamwork. Two players control quirky characters tethered by an invisible bond, navigating a world where gravity shifts direction above and below a central line. Success depends on true cooperation, as puzzles require both players to move, jump, and flip in sync.

The core challenge lies in spatial reasoning and timing. One player might need to create a platform while the other leaps across a gap, or both must coordinate momentum to launch each other over obstacles. Communication is critical, every puzzle demands precise execution and constant discussion about angles, timing, and roles.
The game supports local couch co-op with single-screen or split-screen views, online matchmaking, and cross-platform multiplayer between Windows and Linux. It creates sessions that reward patience, careful planning, and the ability to think in tandem, making it ideal for players who enjoy communication-heavy teamwork and puzzle-solving over reflexes alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Ibb & Obb solo, or do I need a second player?
Ibb & Obb is designed specifically for two players working together. The puzzles require both characters to coordinate actions simultaneously, so you'll need a partner either locally on the same screen or online through matchmaking.
Does this game support both local and online co-op?
Yes. You can play locally with couch co-op (single-screen or split-screen), find partners through online matchmaking, or use Steam Remote Play Together. The game also supports cross-platform multiplayer between Windows and Linux.
How important is communication in Ibb & Obb?
Communication is essential. Every puzzle requires precise timing and coordination between both players, so you'll need to constantly discuss your moves, plan jump timing, and decide who does what. This is a game that rewards patience and talking through solutions together.
Is this game more about reflexes or puzzle-solving?
Ibb & Obb focuses on puzzle-solving and spatial reasoning over fast reflexes. The challenge comes from figuring out how to use the dual-gravity mechanics together and executing coordinated movements, not from quick reactions or action sequences.
