At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the water cooler often centers on the beloved Dadish series, and the excitement is palpable with the launch of Thomas K. Young's latest venture, Be Brave, Barb! This new gravity-bending platformer invites players to step into the shoes of Barb, a determined cactus on a mission to overthrow King Cloud and his minions.

In Be Brave, Barb, you'll navigate through 100 challenging levels, facing off against five formidable bosses. The game's unique twist involves using gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush. What sets this game apart is its infusion of positive affirmations, humorously dubbed "questionable therapy" by the developers.

The game not only supports controllers but also boasts a retro aesthetic that evokes a comforting nostalgia. Thomas K. Young's signature style shines through, maintaining the high-quality polish fans have come to expect.
