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

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

Prepare for a unique challenge blending physics-based platforming with a heartwarming quest for self-esteem. Help Barb navigate 100 levels, overcoming gravity's pull and her own inner insecurities. Each level offers a daily dose of positive affirmation to boost Barb's confidence.

Expect epic boss battles against King Cloudy and his minions, and… well, let's just say the therapist's advice is… unconventional. Their questionable methods might be the key to victory, though!
