The latest buzz around the office water cooler at Pocket Gamer towers has been all about the Dadish series, and for good reason. With the release of Thomas K. Young's newest project, Be Brave, Barb, fans of this beloved platformer series have even more reason to dive in.
In this gravity-bending platformer, you step into the shoes of the titular cactus, Barb, on a thrilling quest to defeat King Cloud and his henchmen. What sets Be Brave, Barb apart is its unique blend of platforming challenges and positive affirmations, offering a refreshing twist to the genre. The core mechanic revolves around manipulating gravity to leap between platforms and dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush.
With 100 levels to conquer, five formidable bosses to face, and what they call "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb promises an engaging experience for both Dadish fans and platformer enthusiasts alike. The game also comes equipped with controller support and boasts comfortably crunchy retro graphics that pay homage to the indie scene's visual style from years past.
