May 01,2025 Author: Sophia

At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the water cooler often revolves around the beloved Dadish series. Created by Thomas K. Young, these platformers have captured the hearts of many on our team. Now, with the release of Young's latest project, Be Brave, Barb, there's never been a better time to dive into this enchanting world.

In Be Brave, Barb, you take control of the titular cactus character on a thrilling quest to defeat King Cloud and his minions. This gravity-bending platformer challenges you to leap from platform to platform, using gravity to your advantage to avoid obstacles. It's a gameplay mechanic reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush, but with a unique twist.

The game offers 100 levels, five formidable bosses, and what the developers humorously refer to as "questionable therapy." This blend of challenging gameplay and positive affirmations sets Be Brave, Barb apart. Whether you're a fan of the Dadish series or simply enjoy platformers, this game promises a satisfying experience with its controller support and nostalgic, retro graphics.

This style evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the indie gaming scene from years past. Yet, despite this throwback aesthetic, Be Brave, Barb maintains the high-quality polish fans of the Dadish series have come to expect. If you're looking for a fresh yet familiar hero, Barb might just be the one you've been waiting for.
