The buzz around the office at Pocket Gamer towers has been all about the beloved Dadish series, and with good reason. Fans and newcomers alike have a fantastic opportunity to dive in with the latest release from Thomas K. Young, the mastermind behind Dadish: "Be Brave, Barb!"
In this gravity-bending platformer, you take on the role of the courageous cactus, Barb, as she embarks on a thrilling quest to defeat King Cloud and his nefarious henchmen. What sets "Be Brave, Barb" apart is its infusion of positive affirmations, which adds a unique twist to the gameplay. The core mechanic revolves around manipulating gravity to leap between platforms and deftly avoid obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush.
With 100 challenging levels, five formidable bosses, and what the developers humorously refer to as "questionable therapy," "Be Brave, Barb" is poised to captivate fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts alike. The game also offers controller support and boasts delightfully retro graphics that enhance the nostalgic feel.

Thomas K. Young's portfolio consistently delivers a retro aesthetic that feels timeless and evokes a sense of nostalgia. This visual style, popular in the indie gaming scene of yesteryears, adds to the charm of "Be Brave, Barb." While the graphics hark back to a bygone era, there's no doubt that this latest addition to Young's catalog will maintain the high standards of polish and quality seen in the Dadish series.
If you're eager for more adventures and ready to explore something a bit unconventional, Barb might just be the new hero you've been searching for.
