Be Brave, Barb

About

Barb the cactus is on a mission to reclaim her stolen positive affirmations. This platformer throws you into a world where flipping gravity and dodging hazards are daily chores. You’ll leap between floating islands, squish clouds, and outwit King Cloudy’s goons using quick reflexes and maybe some questionable life choices. The controls are tight, the levels spiral into absurdity, and the stakes are low but the chaos is high. The game leans into its weirdness with glee. Barb’s deadpan determination contrasts with a script that’s equal parts existential dread and dad jokes. Early access players on Steam called it “a bizarre little charm bomb,” and with ports on Switch, mobile, and PC, it’s easy to lose hours to its unpredictable charm. Releases March 12, 2025.
