Thomas K. Young, the mastermind behind the beloved Dadish series, is back with his latest creation: Be Brave, Barb! This gravity-defying platformer throws you into a world of exhilarating leaps and daring maneuvers as you navigate treacherous platforms and dodge obstacles.

Step into the shoes (or rather, spines) of Barb, the plucky cactus on a quest to vanquish the menacing King Cloud and his mischievous minions. Prepare for an adventure brimming with positive affirmations—yes, you read that right!—as you master the core mechanic: gravity-based jumps. Think Gravity Rush, but with a whole lot of cactus-themed charm.

With 100 levels, five challenging bosses, and what the developers themselves describe as "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb promises a delightful experience for fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts alike. Enjoy controller support and a retro aesthetic that's both nostalgic and refreshingly crisp.

Thomas K. Young's games consistently boast a charmingly retro style that transcends any specific platform or era. This timeless aesthetic evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the indie game scene's golden age. And judging by past successes, Be Brave, Barb shows no signs of deviating from the high-quality polish synonymous with the Dadish franchise.

If you're craving a fresh challenge and are open to exploring beyond the usual app stores, Barb might just be the heroic cactus you've been waiting for. For more exciting new releases, be sure to check out our regular "Off the App Store" series, highlighting games available on alternative platforms.
