### 4/5 — 👍

*2026-07-01*

Офигенная игра, можно рубиться часами. Но в конце каждого уровня реклама, что очень бесит 😡 Уберёте рекламу будет 5 звёзд , а сейчас 4

### 5/5 — So fun

*2026-01-26*

I especially love the fact that most of the levels have huge skips if you're a little ingenious. I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but it's defensively super fun.
Also i think there should just have a timer that have no incidence on every stage, just so you can play it again and try to find as much cool skips and tricks as possible to have the best timer possible.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-15*

I have played every dadish and Fowlst game though I haven’t beat this one yet it’s already lived up to the previous games please continue to make great games

### 5/5 — so cute and supportive

*2025-12-03, version 1.06*

Love this game and love the letters it comes with. Reminds me of Dadish 3D, another Thomas Young game I love. Challenging but not impossible.

### 5/5 — An absolute delight

*2025-11-06, version 1.06*

Loveee this game, so many levels and such lovely scenes about overcoming fears interspersed with fun gameplay using a lil cactus. Definitely worth playing.

### 3/5 — Im so confused?

*2025-10-28, version 1.06*

The game is adorable but i cant get past the first level i try to click but “barb” doesn’t do anything but fall of ive watched videos and other things but i cant figure it out

### 5/5 — So good

*2025-10-28*

A little glitchy but the rest are FUN but the ads isn’t fun BUT there isn’t much ads YAY
I LOVE this game not only because we don’t have to walk 
I love the story teller and I love the blocks and looks because I don’t really see much games like this 
I totally think you SHOULD get this :3 
Good luck creator

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2025-10-26*

I played through the entire game and got all affirmations. I tried to screenshot all of them but forgot to screenshot one. Could you add a list of all the affirmations you’ve found so you don’t have to play through the level again to get the affirmation? Also, really good boss fights! They’re challenging yet fun.

### 5/5 — Всё круто

*2025-09-21, version 1.06*

### 4/5 — Super fun game but NEEDS a BUG FIX

*2025-09-12*

I love this game so much! Very funny and has catchy music.

There’s a bug in my game though. In Level 1–13, at the start of the level, when I jump to avoid the spikes, Barb double jumps for some reason. And when I jump to the next platform she just rolls over into the spikes. It’s extremely frustrating. 

Please fix this bug ASAP so I can continue to enjoy this game.

### 5/5 — Addictif, mignon et…

*2026-08-03*

Parfait ! Be Brave, Barb est vraiment une réussite sur tous les points, on change d’angle de gameplay, mais on garde le même humour et la même innocence que les jeux précédents, et c’est ce qui fait la grande force de ce titre

### 5/5 — Great game but found a bug

*2026-07-19*

This game is really fun and great and the lore is good but sometimes when I reset the level I’ll still die anyways then my screen will go black and I’ll have to exit and re open the app for it to play normally again, so Thomas if your seeing this pls fix it but other wise it’s a great game!

### 5/5 — How is this so hard but mind blowing?!?

*2026-07-14*

### 5/5 — So fun!

### 5/5 — Hard but fun

*2026-02-11*

Really enjoying this. The sort of game that makes you want to throw the phone across the room but you do better every time and it’s satisfying when you beat a level.
