Be Brave, Barb is an upcoming platformer that encourages you to battle against what literally and figuratively brings you down

Conquer gravity and self-doubt in the charming new mobile adventure, Be Brave, Barb! Developer Thomas K. Young delivers a delightful cactus-themed platformer launching March 12th on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch.

This heartwarming game challenges players to navigate gravity-defying levels while simultaneously tackling Barb's inner insecurities. The hundred-level adventure focuses on self-worth, offering daily positive affirmations to help Barb (and the player!) rebuild confidence.

Expect epic boss battles and surprisingly questionable advice from Barb's therapist – who suggests underthinking as a cure for overthinking! While the therapeutic approach might be dubious, it seems effective against the villainous King Cloudy and his minions.
