At Pocket Gamer, the Dadish series is a frequent topic of discussion around our office water cooler. It's a favorite among our staff, and with good reason. Now, with the release of Thomas K. Young's newest project, Be Brave, Barb!, there's never been a better time to jump into this engaging universe.

In Be Brave, Barb!, you take on the role of the titular cactus, embarking on a quest to defeat King Cloud and his henchmen. The game is filled with positive affirmations, which is a unique touch for a platformer.
