Be Brave, Barb, the latest creation from Thomas K. Young, the mastermind behind the beloved Dadish series, is here! This gravity-defying platformer throws you into a world of exhilarating leaps and daring maneuvers across precarious platforms, all while dodging a relentless barrage of obstacles.

Around the Pocket Gamer office, the Dadish series is a constant source of conversation. Its popularity among our staff is well-deserved, and with the launch of Be Brave, Barb, there's never been a better time to jump in!

In this adventure, you'll play as Barb, the plucky cactus on a mission to vanquish the nefarious King Cloud and his mischievous minions. Prepare for a unique gameplay experience filled with positive affirmations (yes, really!) and the core mechanic of gravity-bending jumps to navigate the challenging levels. Think of it as a charming twist on the classic Gravity Rush formula.

With 100 levels, five epic boss battles, and what the developers describe as "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb promises a delightful experience for fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts alike. Enjoy controller support and the satisfyingly crisp retro graphics.
