unlabelledView post →This sucks. Fast approaching the point where every major outlet that covered our first game They Bleed Pixels back in the day, will have either gone under, stopped covering games or become a shell of its former self with a skeleton crew writing guides.
unlabelledView post →Bought my 12 year old some awesome one-of-a-kind merch at the Indie Game Emporium during Toronto Games Week (all the booths were all works of art). Resulted in her playing "They Bleed Pixels" on the Switch (she's now got skillz). Forgot how beautiful TBP is. @spookysquid.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →I beat the boss of They Bleed Pixels. If you have not experienced it, all I can say is that the fight is perfect for that gruelingly difficult skill-based game.

unlabelledView post →This is tomorrow! I'll have lots of merch from both Russian Subway Dogs and They Bleed Pixels at the show! *Reminder, please bring cash!* Indie game folks don't do a lot of shows so many of us won't be able to take cards.

unlabelledView post →Azure Striker Gunvolt, Blaster Master Zero if you want a little exploration in the mix, uhh, I dunno about it feeling too much like Mega Man per se, but I recall They Bleed Pixels being a fun platforming game, if you want a silly MST3k inside joke of sorts, Manos The Hands of Fate
unlabelledView post →Aww you’re too kind 🥹 It’s The Clawed Girl from a game called They Bleed Pixels
unlabelledView post →As of today, The Room Two (2016) is the 415th best game of all time according to me, directly below Way of the Samurai 3 and directly above They Bleed Pixels. It is part of Tier 18. There are 25 tiers and 570 games in the list #PixelRankings

unlabelledView post →If you haven't watched it, there are some good AGDQ runs with commentary from the "They Bleed Pixels" devs where they talk about all the bugs that they found and left in for the speedrunners, because they wouldn't bother any casual players. It's a good watch if you like game dev insights.

unlabelledView post →I didn't animate them. They're also not my characters on the album art - they are from the game They Bleed Pixels! Excited to hear you're learning to make game graphics!
unlabelledView post →Trying to pick background music for today and got reminded of They Bleed Pixels. I liked this game. I still love a lot about it. And i'm equally salty about not being able to complete it ;_; Also, the OST is neat.
unlabelledView post →They Bleed Pixels is a fantastic game, the art style alone still makes me think back on it from time to time. Eldritch and Gunhouse are also great!
unlabelledView post →I haven't played "They Bleed Pixels" but for those that can manage at least the novice mode (I wouldn't be able to), and can stomach body horror and blood, the game page calls it a "cult classic." This game usually costs more than the entire bundle itself, and has even come to console!
unlabelledView post →Been playing a bit of #TheyBleedPixels. It's a Lovecraftian platformer where you can combo non-Euclidean eldritch abominations. The combo qualifiers are kind of hilarious. "8 hits! Foetid!" Or "12 hit combo! Cyclopean!" Kind of hard to take it seriously, because they are, well, pixels.
unlabelledView post →Game #12: They Bleed Pixels I apparently did play this for about an hour in 2014. I have to imagine that was before i had a controller, cause i can't imagine playing this on keyboard. It's a challenging 2D platformer, seems up my alley. Hopefully it's aged well long term. Verdict: Backlogged
unlabelledView post →@spookysquid They Bleed Pixels is a pretty sweet game! Thanks for making it.
unlabelledView post →Games that Steam says I played for several hours but I don't remember, or for me it was 5 minutes: Frostpunk 8.1 hours They Bleed Pixels 6.8 h Brawlhalla 13.7h Aseprite 188h (???It's not a game, but I did use it through Steam. But that much??? I only have two things saved that I made with it)
unlabelledView post →3. They Bleed Pixels this game almost definitely was 50 cents or maybe even a full dollar! I've heard good things but edgy pixel platformers don't always do it for me and I've already played Super Meat Boy. maybe some day.
unlabelledView post →A few older games again - VVVVVV is a solid classic; They Bleed Pixels is a great little speed game, and whilst I've not played 'em for a while, Castle in the Darkness and Evoland have their charms! CitD is 34% off, VVVVVV is 50% off, and the other two are 75% off.
unlabelledView post →Finally they're also both on sale on Steam! Russian Subway Dogs: store.steampowered.com/app/762610/ They Bleed Pixels: store.steampowered.com/app/211260/

unlabelledView post →(warning: copious pixelated cartoon violence and blood) I'm no speedrunner, and there's plenty of mistakes, but I'm still kinda proud of this little run I made in #TheyBleedPixels, slightly late for #Halloween.
