About Barbara-ian
You play Barbara-ian, a mythical badass with perma-rage & a penchant for smashing. Featuring super fast paced physics based mayhem, one hit is all that stands between you and a quick restart
Barbara-ian is a randomly generated dungeon crawler focused on pure action! Gameplay consists of marauding through dungeons smashing everything in your path - doors, tombs, gelatinous cubes etc - using physics-driven combat ensuring nothing stands in your way. Smash through chests & loot the weapons inside to progress deeper into dungeonland!
Unlike other dungeon crawler heroes, Barbara-ian has no inventory, no skill system, no health bars. She doesn't want to duel with her enemies, doesn't want to carry a bag full of callipers OR tongs, and she doesn't need a spreadsheet to tell her how to kick ♥♥♥. One hit is all it takes to kill anything, even her!
In terms of progress, the game is feature complete and very playable but we want to add content content content and we need your feedback in order to do this. Early adopters can expect to be part of a rapid and responsive development process, as zany and oddball weapons fill Barbara-ian's arsenal, a multitude of labyrinthine dungeons are unearthed and enemies spring from the pages of our classic D&D Monster Manual!
We hope you'll join us and Barbara-ian for the ride!

Half woman, half man; all action. A chaotic neon soaked dungeon run. One hit and you're dead, and everything is so dreadfully dangerous. Procedural levels, ridiculous weapons, hordes of enemies; a continual cycle of death and rebirth. Bugs are present, the game feels incomplete, but there's fun to be had... on sale. Just one more "one more go".3 found this helpful
I really like the direction they went here but it's just not finished. I feel it was pushed out of early access because no more work was going to be done but it's still a very rough game. The game needs weapons removed, camera work, and bugs fixed. It's just too much to recommend in this state. I made a video: https://youtu.be/9D6zmDTv2z03 found this helpful
This game is difficult. This game will anger you. This game will kill you... a lot. But all the deaths and quick restarts make completing a level so satisfying! [b]Pros: [/b] [list] [*]Wonderful soundtrack [*]Fast-paced combat [*]Nice voxel graphics [/list] [b]Cons:[/b] [list] [*]Can't switch the weapon [*]Sometime is too dark [/list] This is a good indie game!2 found this helpful
The Vampire Survivor before Vampire Survivor. Genuine fun and pretty addicting for the simplicity.
Not too bad. It’s a fun enough little game.
I wasnt sure if I whould like it becaus of the one hp but because of how fast you are and how easy it is to hit and run makes it suprisingly enjoyable. I just wish you could make a custum game with things like more enemies(i fell that is lacking enemises alot of the time) extra speed, spawn with a cool weapon, extra health or other things
