Be Brave, Barb is an upcoming platformer that encourages you to battle against what literally and figuratively brings you down

Thomas K. Young’s new mobile adventure, Be Brave, Barb, is a delightful cactus-themed platformer launching March 12th on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. This game, reminiscent of the Dadish series, blends challenging gravity-based platforming with a heartwarming quest for self-confidence.

Players navigate 100 levels, helping Barb overcome her insecurities as she literally and figuratively battles the force of gravity. Each level provides a daily positive affirmation to boost Barb's self-worth. Along the way, epic boss battles await, including confrontations with King Cloudy and his henchmen. The game even features a quirky therapist offering, shall we say, unique advice – suggesting underthinking as a cure for overthinking. While this approach might raise some eyebrows, it’s all part of the fun and helps Barb (and maybe even the player) on their journey.
