    Featuring 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. It tells the story of a young girl haunted by a mysterious book and her violent Lovecraftian nightmares.

    They Bleed Pixels uses a simple one-button combat scheme with surprising depth at its core. Button mashing is discouraged while kicking shadowy monsters into saws, pits and spikes is rewarded thanks to a unique checkpoint earning system: instead of being evenly distributed at set locations, players must earn and place checkpoints through stylish kills. The more and better you kill, the faster you fill your checkpoint meter. Avoid combat or button mash mindlessly and you'll find checkpoints uncomfortably far apart.

    They Bleed Pixels is a simple and challenging 2D action game but one that ultimately feels dated with plenty of cumbersome moments.

    Good platformer with gradually increasing difficulty. Pretty short. On easy difficulty it takes about 3-4 hours. On normal difficulty, itGood platformer with gradually increasing difficulty. Pretty short. On easy difficulty it takes about 3-4 hours. On normal difficulty, it takes about twice as long. The main feature is music and atmosphere, as well as a simple mystical story in the spirit of Lovecraft. Expand
