They Bleed Pixels is a unique mix of intense platforming and fierce beat-em-up action. It features a distinct visual style that combines pixel art with paper and ink textures, telling the story of a young girl haunted by mysterious book and her violent Lovecraftian nightmares. The combat system uses a simple one-button scheme that offers surprising depth. Players are rewarded for kicking monsters into saws, pits and spikes through a unique checkpoint earning system: they must earn checkpoints through stylish kills instead of being evenly distributed at set locations. The more and better players kill, the faster they fill their checkpoint meter - but if they avoid combat or button mash mindlessly, checkpoints will be farther apart.
