"Be Brave, Barb: A New Gravity-Bending Platformer by Dadish Creator"

At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the office often centers on the beloved Dadish series, and now, with Thomas K. Young's latest release, Be Brave, Barb!, there's never been a better time to dive in.

Be Brave, Barb! is a gravity-bending platformer where you take control of the courageous cactus, Barb, on her mission to defeat King Cloud and his minions. The game features a unique twist with its positive affirmations, which add a refreshing layer to the gameplay. The core mechanic involves using gravity to navigate Barb through 100 challenging levels, jumping between platforms and dodging obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush.

With five formidable bosses and what the developers humorously call "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb! promises to captivate both fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts. The game also supports controllers and boasts a retro aesthetic that's both nostalgic and crunchy.
