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

May 02,2025 Author: Blake

At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the Dadish series is undeniable, and it's no surprise with the latest release from Thomas K. Young, "Be Brave, Barb!" This new gravity-bending platformer invites players to step into the shoes of Barb, the courageous cactus, on her mission to defeat King Cloud and his minions.

In "Be Brave, Barb," you'll harness the power of gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the beloved cult classic, Gravity Rush. The game not only challenges your reflexes but also sprinkles in doses of positive affirmations, making for a unique gaming experience. With 100 levels and five bosses to conquer, along with what the developers humorously call "questionable therapy," this title is a must-play for fans of the Dadish series and platforming enthusiasts alike.

"Be Brave, Barb" comes equipped with controller support and boasts the comfortably crunchy retro graphics that Thomas K. Young's games are known for. The visual style evokes a sense of nostalgia, tapping into the indie scene's charm from years past. Yet, there's no compromise on quality; this latest release retains the polished feel characteristic of the Dadish series.
