At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the water cooler often centers on the beloved Dadish series. With the recent release of Thomas K. Young's latest project, Be Brave, Barb, fans have another exciting platformer to dive into.
Be Brave, Barb is a gravity-bending adventure where you control the titular cactus character, Barb, on a mission to defeat King Cloud and his minions. The game is filled with positive affirmations, adding a unique twist to the platforming genre. The core mechanic involves manipulating gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush.
Featuring 100 levels and five bosses, along with what the developers humorously call "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb is poised to captivate both fans of the Dadish series and platforming enthusiasts. The game supports controllers and boasts charmingly retro graphics that enhance the nostalgic feel.
