Barb: Brave Platformer Fights Inner Demons

  • Mind-bending gravity-defying platform challenges
  • Therapeutic guidance you might want to second-guess
  • A heartwarming journey to rebuild your self-esteem

Thomas K. Young has unveiled an exciting new mobile adventure - and what a delightful surprise it is. The charming cactus-themed platformer Be Brave, Barb launches March 12th across iOS, Android, Steam and Nintendo Switch, showcasing exactly the creative charm you'd expect from the mind behind Dadish.

Be Brave, Barb uniquely blends physics-based platforming with emotional growth, as you navigate both environmental gravity and personal struggles - quite literally exploring what weighs you down. True to its title, this uplifting platformer celebrates self-worth through 100 clever levels where you'll help Barb rediscover her confidence one encouraging boost at a time.

The adventure isn't without its challenges, featuring memorable boss battles and an unconventional therapist whose "stop overthinking" philosophy might raise eyebrows. While I'd hesitate to take their advice for serious self-doubt, their quirky perspective might just be the key to defeating adversaries like King Cloudy and his minions.
