Apr 24,2025 Author: Christopher

The buzz around the office at Pocket Gamer towers has been all about the Dadish series, and with good reason. Now, fans have even more to celebrate with the launch of Thomas K. Young's latest creation, *Be Brave, Barb*! This gravity-bending platformer introduces us to Barb, the courageous cactus, on her quest to defeat King Cloud and his henchmen. What sets this game apart are the unique positive affirmations scattered throughout, adding a refreshing twist to the genre.

In *Be Brave, Barb*, players will navigate through 100 challenging levels, using gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the beloved cult classic, *Gravity Rush*. The game promises a thrilling experience with five formidable bosses and what they humorously call "questionable therapy." Whether you're a long-time fan of the Dadish series or a platformer enthusiast, *Be Brave, Barb* is crafted to captivate you with its engaging gameplay, controller support, and delightfully retro graphics.

Thomas K. Young's games have a distinct, nostalgic charm, evoking a comfortably retro feel that transcends platforms and time periods. The visual style, reminiscent of the indie scene's heyday, adds to the allure of *Be Brave, Barb*. While the game maintains the high polish characteristic of the Dadish series, it also dares to venture outside the norm, potentially introducing players to their new favorite hero, Barb.
