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 is a charming follow-up to Dadish, offering a unique blend of gravity-defying platforming challenges and a heartwarming self-esteem journey.

In Be Brave, Barb, you'll navigate a hundred levels, battling not only the forces of gravity but also your own inner insecurities. The game cleverly intertwines platforming gameplay with a quest to boost Barb's self-confidence, offering a daily dose of positivity.

Expect epic boss battles against King Cloudy and his henchmen, and prepare for some… unconventional advice from Barb's therapist, who suggests underthinking as a cure for overthinking. While this approach might raise a few eyebrows, it's all part of the quirky charm.
