They Bleed Pixels

They Bleed Pixels

They Bleed Pixels is a fiendishly difficult action platformer inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and classic horror. They Bleed Pixels is a unique blend of intense platforming and hard-hitting beat-em-up action, presented in a distinctive visual style that combines pixel art with paper and ink textures. At the core of the combat system is a simple one-button fighting system with surprising depth and versatility. Thanks to a unique system that lets you earn and place your own checkpoints through stylish kills, pressing buttons isn't rewarded while kicking shadowy monsters in saws, pits, and spikes. The more outlandish your kills, the faster you fill up the checkpoint meter.
