The buzz around the office water cooler at Pocket Gamer towers has been all about the Dadish series, and with good reason. Fans of this beloved platformer series have even more to celebrate with the latest release from Thomas K. Young, the mastermind behind Dadish—introducing "Be Brave, Barb!"
In this gravity-bending adventure, you'll step into the shoes (or roots, rather) of Barb, the courageous cactus, on her mission to defeat the nefarious King Cloud and his minions. What sets Be Brave, Barb apart is its unique blend of positive affirmations and innovative gameplay mechanics. You'll harness the power of gravity to leap between platforms and skillfully dodge obstacles, reminiscent of the cult classic Gravity Rush.
With a whopping 100 levels, five challenging bosses, and what they call "questionable therapy," Be Brave, Barb promises an engaging experience for both fans of the Dadish series and platformer enthusiasts alike. The game also supports controllers and features a delightfully retro aesthetic that adds to its charm.
The visual style of Thomas K. Young's games evokes a nostalgic feel that transcends specific platforms or eras. It's a style that resonates with many, including those of us who remember the indie scene's golden days. Yet, there's no doubt that Be Brave, Barb maintains the high-quality polish we've come to expect from the Dadish series. If you're eager for a fresh take on the genre and ready to embrace a new hero, Barb might just be the adventure you've been waiting for.
