The buzz around the office water cooler at Pocket Gamer towers is all about the Dadish series, and for good reason. Fans of this beloved collection of platformers have a new reason to celebrate with the release of Thomas K. Young's latest project, Be Brave, Barb!

In this gravity-bending platformer, you take on the role of the titular cactus, Barb, as she embarks on a thrilling quest to defeat King Cloud and his henchmen. What sets Be Brave, Barb apart is its unique blend of positive affirmations and innovative gameplay mechanics. You'll use gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush.

With 100 levels, five challenging bosses, and what the developers humorously call "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb is poised to captivate both fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts alike. The game also features controller support and boasts comfortably crunchy retro graphics that add to its charm.
