Be Brave, Barb is a gravity-bending new platformer from the creator of Dadish
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.
