Thomas K. Young has unveiled an exciting new mobile adventure that promises to brighten your day. The charming cactus-themed platformer, Be Brave, Barb, is set to launch on iOS, Android, Steam, and the Nintendo Switch on March 12th. This delightful game is a testament to the creative genius behind Dadish.

In Be Brave, Barb, players will navigate not only the challenges of gravity-based platforming but also confront their own inner insecurities. The game's core theme revolves around boosting self-confidence, as you guide Barb through a hundred diverse levels, each offering a daily dose of positivity to help her reclaim her self-worth.

The journey isn't without its hurdles; epic bosses and a questionable therapist add layers of complexity to the narrative. This therapist's unconventional advice suggests underthinking as a remedy for overthinking, which might raise eyebrows but could be the key to defeating King Cloudy and his minions.
