Author : Isabella Apr 19,2025

At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the Dadish series is always palpable, and with Thomas K. Young's latest release, Be Brave, Barb, there's even more reason to join the conversation. This new gravity-bending platformer invites players to step into the shoes of Barb, a courageous cactus on a mission to defeat King Cloud and his minions.

In Be Brave, Barb, you'll navigate through 100 challenging levels, facing off against five formidable bosses, all while receiving doses of "questionable therapy" — a quirky touch that adds to the game's unique charm. The core gameplay revolves around manipulating gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, offering a fresh twist reminiscent of classics like Gravity Rush.

Fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts will find Be Brave, Barb particularly appealing. The game not only brings a retro aesthetic with its comfortably crunchy graphics but also supports controllers, enhancing the overall experience.
