"Be Brave, Barb: Confront Your Fears in New Platformer"

Author : Isaac Update : May 30,2025

Gravity-based platforming challenges, quirky therapeutic advice, and an endearing journey to bolster self-confidence—Thomas K. Young’s latest mobile escapade is here, and it’s nothing short of delightful. Be Brave, Barb, set to launch on iOS, Android, Steam, and the Nintendo Switch on March 12th, carries the torch lit by its predecessor, Dadish, and shines brightly.

In this charming cactus-centric platformer, you’ll not only navigate the physical pull of gravity but also confront the mental forces that weigh you down. The game cleverly ties its mechanics to its narrative, where Barb embarks on a mission to rediscover her self-assurance. Each of the hundred-plus levels offers a positive affirmation, helping players overcome obstacles both external and internal.

Of course, no platformer worth its salt is complete without formidable foes. Prepare to face off against King Cloudy and his entourage, while navigating the dubious guidance of a counselor who suggests underthinking as a cure for overthinking. While their methods might raise eyebrows, they prove effective when it comes to vanquishing enemies.
