They Bleed Pixels is a fiendishly difficult action platformer inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and classic horror. Rendered in a distinct visual style that blends pixel art with paper and ink textures, They Bleed Pixels is a singular mix of intense platforming and fierce beat-em-up action. At the core of its fighting system is a simple one-button combat scheme with surprising depth and versatility. Button mashing is discouraged while kicking shadowy monsters into saws, pits and spikes is rewarded, thanks to a unique system that lets you earn and place your own checkpoints through stylish kills. The fancier your kills, the faster you fill the checkpoint meter.

A game that does everything it can to suck the fun out of a otherwise decent feeling experience. Frustrating to the point of wanting to spike your controller. No slow buildup either, the difficulty comes early. While it feels good to persevere, in the end it wasn't worth it for me.

They bleed pixels. Under the strange name of the game, there is a very interesting platformer that gives a completely different experience when compared to anthology games ala Super meat boy. A very interesting game that has clearly passed by many players who love this genre.

Они истекают пикселями. Под странным названием игры, скрывается очень интересный платформер, который дает совершено другой опыт, если сравнивать его с антологичными играми аля Super meat boy. Очень интересная игра, которая явно прошла мимо многих игроков, любящих данный жанр.

pissed me off so bad.
also stop referencing the fact that ur pixel art game has pixels in. its giving so retro

Neat art, but it kicked my butt and so I noped out.

An enjoyable and yet equally frustrating game. It has a lot of fun platforming action, but there are so many places later on where simply not watching where your standing can give you a insta-kill that it goes up to super meatboy levels of annoyance. The art for it is quite creepy and i love how the girl appeared to have just been accidentally chosen by this book, but wow is this quite a hard game. I recommend it to anyone who likes to pick up a challenge.

A fun enough challenge platformer with a pretty minimal story
