They Bleed Pixels
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.

If you don't let yourself get too tripped up by the sometimes convoluted combat controls, then this charming, well-crafted platforming bloodfeast will really sink its fangs into you -- in a good way. In This Article They Bleed Pixels Review great Gore and spooky beasts await in this brutal but creative platform brawler.

Control can be an issue at times – the one button combat system relying on the distinction between taps and holds makes it easy to muddle attacks – but challenge seekers will find plenty to get stuck into, impaled on and cut to shreds in this macabre, frenetic onslaught.

They Bleed Pixels is a monument of pain and frustration packaged in nostalgia and wrapped in a pretty red bow. Every moment of relief is overcast by ten of anxiety. At least the soundtrack was awesome.

They Bleed Pixels is a simple and challenging 2D action game but one that ultimately feels dated with plenty of cumbersome moments.They Bleed Pixels gameplay video → More 2D Switch Games Shoot 1UP DX Review Switch ★★★★☆ I can never get enough shoot 'em up action and Shoot 1UP DX is here to give genre fans a unique formula of arcade shooting action. To be frank, I didn't think much of Shoot 1UP DX after watching its trailers.
