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

Embark on a heartwarming mobile adventure with Thomas K. Young's latest creation, Be Brave, Barb! This charming cactus-themed platformer launches March 12th on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch, promising a delightful experience reminiscent of the beloved Dadish series.

Prepare for a unique challenge blending gravity-defying platforming with a deeply personal journey of self-discovery. As Barb, you'll navigate 100 levels, confronting not only perilous obstacles but also your own inner demons. The game cleverly intertwines the literal struggle against gravity with the figurative weight of self-doubt, making for a truly engaging and thought-provoking experience.

Expect epic boss battles and encounters with a rather unconventional therapist whose advice might raise a few eyebrows (underthinking as a cure for overthinking?). While their methods are questionable, if it helps defeat the villainous King Cloudy and his minions, it's all part of the fun!
