At Pocket Gamer, the buzz around the water cooler often revolves around the beloved Dadish series. Created by Thomas K. Young, these platformers have won the hearts of our team, and the latest release, Be Brave, Barb, is no exception. If you're a fan of the Dadish series, now is the perfect time to dive into this new adventure!
Be Brave, Barb is a gravity-bending platformer where you take on the role of the titular cactus, Barb, on a quest to defeat King Cloud and his henchmen. What sets this game apart is its unique blend of positive affirmations and challenging gameplay. The core mechanic involves manipulating gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush.
With 100 levels, five bosses, and what the creators call "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb offers a compelling experience for both Dadish series enthusiasts and platformer fans alike. The game also features controller support and boasts a comfortably crunchy retro aesthetic that adds to its charm.
Thomas K. Young's games have a distinctive retro vibe that feels timeless and evokes a sense of nostalgia. This style, popular in the indie scene years ago, continues to resonate with players. Be Brave, Barb promises the same high-quality polish that the Dadish series is known for, offering a fresh yet familiar experience. If you're looking for something a bit different, Barb might just be the hero you've been waiting for.
