The soundtrack to puzzle platformer ibb & obb by Dutch musician Kettel (Reimer Eising) is available digitally: for purchase through Bandcamp, and for streaming through the Amazon Music, Spotify and Apple Music platforms.

Developed by two-man independent studio Sparpweed Games, the puzzle title for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 3, Windows and Linux stars green and pink life forms ibb and obb, separated from each other by a horizontal barrier. Gravity operates in opposite directions on either side of the barrier, requiring the two protagonists to collaborate on creative strategies to progress through levels.

Sparpweed is headed by Richard Boeser and Roland Ijzermans, both of whom studied industrial design at Delft Technical University in The Netherlands. Their mission statement centers on the objective of creating games with a focus on "original gameplay and atmosphere." Composer Kettel, based in Groningen in the Netherlands, is a classically trained pianist and blends elements of electronica, classical, jazz and techno in his studio albums.

Excerpts from the 26-track soundtrack album are streaming on SoundCloud.
