Be Brave, Barb is an upcoming platformer that encourages you to battle against what literally and figuratively brings you down

Conquer gravity and self-doubt in the charming new mobile adventure, Be Brave, Barb! This cactus-themed platformer from Thomas K. Young, the mind behind Dadish, launches March 12th on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch.

Prepare for a unique challenge: master gravity-defying platforming while simultaneously confronting Barb's inner insecurities. This heartwarming game focuses on self-esteem, guiding Barb through 100 levels to rediscover her self-confidence with daily affirmations.

Expect epic boss battles against King Cloudy and his minions, and…questionable therapeutic advice. The therapist's suggestion of "underthinking" as a cure for "overthinking" might raise eyebrows, but if it helps defeat the bad guys, who are we to judge?
