Be Brave, Barb is a gravity-bending new platformer from the creator of Dadish

The buzz around the office water cooler at Pocket Gamer towers is all about the Dadish series, and with good reason. Fans of these beloved platformers have a new reason to celebrate with the latest release from Thomas K. Young, the creator of Dadish: Be Brave, Barb!

In this gravity-bending platformer, you take on the role of Barb, the courageous cactus, on her quest to defeat King Cloud and his henchmen. The game introduces a unique twist with its core mechanic, allowing you to manipulate gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles. This mechanic draws comparisons to the cult classic Gravity Rush, making Be Brave, Barb an exciting addition to the genre.

With 100 challenging levels, five formidable bosses, and what the developers humorously call "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb is poised to captivate both fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts. The game also features controller support and boasts a comfortably crunchy retro aesthetic that adds to its charm.

The visual style of Thomas K. Young's games evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the indie scene from years past. Yet, Be Brave, Barb promises the same high-quality polish that fans have come to expect from the Dadish series. If you're looking for a fresh yet familiar gaming experience, Barb might just be the hero you've been waiting for.
