Be Brave, Barb is an upcoming platformer that encourages you to battle against what literally and figuratively brings you down

by Zachary Feb 23,2025

Conquer gravity and self-doubt in Be Brave, Barb, the charming new mobile adventure from Thomas K. Young! This cactus-themed platformer launches March 12th on iOS, Android, Steam, and Nintendo Switch, offering a delightful blend of challenging gameplay and heartwarming self-discovery.

Prepare for gravity-defying platforming challenges as you guide Barb through 100 levels, battling inner insecurities alongside literal obstacles. The game's core message is self-acceptance and building self-esteem, with daily positive affirmations to help Barb—and you—on your journey.

Epic boss battles await, and you'll even encounter a rather unconventional therapist whose advice might raise an eyebrow or two. Their questionable methods might be the key to defeating King Cloudy and his minions, though!
