"Be Brave, Barb: New Platformer Game Challenges Players to Overcome Obstacles"

  • Gravity-defying platform challenges
  • A questionable therapist offering unconventional advice
  • An endearing journey to restore self-assurance

Thomas K. Young is launching a brand-new mobile adventure, and it’s nothing short of delightful. Specifically, the cactus-themed platformer Be Brave, Barb will debut on iOS, Android, Steam, and the Nintendo Switch starting March 12th—and it perfectly embodies what fans of Dadish might expect next.

In Be Brave, Barb, you’ll not only navigate the physical forces of gravity but also confront internal doubts that both literally and figuratively weigh you down. As suggested by the title, this inspiring platformer revolves around embracing self-worth. By conquering more than a hundred unique levels, you’ll help Barb rediscover her confidence through daily positivity boosts.

Of course, there are formidable bosses lurking to throw obstacles in your path, including a quirky therapist whose unorthodox methods might seem questionable at first. While I wouldn’t rely on their advice for real-life dilemmas, their approach certainly gets results when taking down characters like King Cloudy and his minions.
