Embark on a heartwarming mobile adventure with Thomas K. Young's latest creation, Be Brave, Barb! This charming cactus-themed platformer launches March 12th on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch, promising a delightful experience reminiscent of the beloved Dadish series.

Prepare for a unique challenge that blends gravity-defying platforming with a deeply personal journey of self-discovery. As Barb, you'll navigate 100 levels, confronting not only environmental obstacles but also your own inner demons. The game cleverly intertwines gameplay with a quest for self-confidence, offering daily positive affirmations to bolster Barb's—and your own—spirits.

Epic boss battles await, alongside encounters with a rather unconventional therapist whose methods, while questionable, might just be the key to defeating the villainous King Cloudy and his minions. Their unconventional advice, suggesting underthinking as a cure for overthinking, may raise eyebrows, but if it works, who are we to judge?
