At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the Dadish series is undeniable, and the excitement is palpable with the launch of Thomas K. Young's newest game, Be Brave, Barb! This latest addition to his catalog is a gravity-bending platformer that invites players to step into the shoes of Barb, a courageous cactus on a mission to defeat King Cloud and his minions.

In Be Brave, Barb, you'll navigate through 100 challenging levels, facing off against five formidable bosses. The game's unique twist involves using gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the beloved cult classic, Gravity Rush. What sets this game apart are the positive affirmations sprinkled throughout your journey, adding a refreshing layer to the gameplay experience.

Thomas K. Young's signature retro graphics are back, delivering that nostalgic feel that resonates deeply with fans of indie games. Be Brave, Barb not only caters to enthusiasts of the Dadish series but also to anyone who appreciates platformers. With added controller support, the game ensures a seamless and enjoyable experience.
