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

by Connor Mar 19,2025

Thomas K. Young’s delightful new mobile adventure, Be Brave, Barb, is launching March 12th on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. This cactus-themed platformer, reminiscent of the Dadish series, offers a charming blend of challenging gameplay and heartwarming self-discovery.

Prepare for gravity-defying platforming challenges as you navigate a hundred levels, helping Barb overcome her inner insecurities. This isn’t just about skillful jumps; it's about a journey of self-acceptance and building self-confidence, boosted by daily positive affirmations.

Expect epic boss battles against King Cloudy and his minions, and encounters with a…uniquely unorthodox therapist whose advice might raise a few eyebrows (underthinking as a cure for overthinking? Really?). While her methods are questionable, if they help defeat the bad guys, who are we to judge?
