"Be Brave, Barb: Battle Your Fears in New Platformer"

Author : Allison Apr 11,2025

Thomas K. Young, the mastermind behind the beloved Dadish series, has just unveiled his latest creation, and it's shaping up to be a delightful day for gamers everywhere. Introducing Be Brave, Barb, a charming cactus-themed platformer set to launch on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch on March 12th. If you're a fan of Young's unique style, you're in for a treat with this new adventure.

In Be Brave, Barb, players will navigate not only the challenging gravity-based platforming puzzles but also confront personal insecurities head-on. The game cleverly intertwines literal and figurative challenges, making it a journey of self-discovery and growth. As you guide Barb through over a hundred meticulously designed levels, you'll help her rebuild her self-confidence with daily doses of positivity.

However, the path to self-improvement isn't without its obstacles. Players will face off against formidable bosses intent on dampening Barb's spirits, and encounter a therapist whose advice might raise an eyebrow or two. Suggesting that underthinking could be the antidote to overthinking, this quirky character adds a humorous twist to the narrative. While I might not take such advice seriously in real life, in the world of Be Brave, Barb, it's all part of the fun in overcoming King Cloudy and his minions.
