They Bleed Pixels Reviews

one-button control scheme feels clumsy; many areas that are far too large to fit on screen lack clear signposting of the intended path; combat is surprisingly slow and repetitive

great game pretty fun to complete

Update was pushed out 7/13/2025 with no changelog, no official announcement. As soon as update was finished the .exe was flagged and quarantined by antivirus. [strike]Developers has not replied at all to questions about this. Review will continue to be negative until this is addressed. Game is quite possibly malware now.[/strike] Edit 7/17/2025: Dev responded in the forums finally. Apparently was just a maintenance patch, so probably just a false positive by antivirus. Changing review back to thumbs up. For what it is, is a decent platformer along the lines of Super Meatboy.

please nerf the small flying pixels, literally makes this game near unplayable. I'm autistic and cannot focus on both platforming and avoid pixels of death from just hitting me into the nearby death pit. Make them more managable please, and no Novice setting isnt an option as I refuse to play an easy mode the punishes me for playing an accessability option

Platform hell game with some combat and combo mechanics. It put me through 15 hours of pain to complete every level in normal mode. I am not enough of a god to go for all collectables in addition to a few being hidden the last level's are just even more difficulty on top of the already inhuman difficulty. Never mind any of the deathless achievements.

They Bleed Pixels is a game about "Don't judge a book by its cover" They Bleed Pixels is a game with very beautiful pixel art, but terribly made gameplay. One day when I was looking for something to buy on sale, this game caught my eye, I was very interested in the cover, and after I saw the trailer and the platformer tag, I immediately added it to my cart. I put it off for quite a long time, but now that I have a desire to play it, I regret it, because I probably won't even be able to get my money back. The art here is really great, I won't take my words back, the graphics are very beautiful and pleasant. I didn't have time to delve into the plot, because I played too little, so I won't say anything. But the gameplay... it's terrible, the character is as uncontrollable as possible, which is simply unforgivable for a platformer, the third level in the game is made almost entirely with a slippery floor, on which it becomes completely impossible to control the character, the combat system was made like a couple of days before the release, because there was not enough gameplay, of course, maybe I'm just having a skill issue, but with most other games I've never had such problems, because it wasn't hard, no, it was boring. So, They Bleed Pixels is wasted potential, a beautiful wrapper wrapped around a piece of rock, so as much as I want to love this game, I just can't, maybe someday when I've at least half-closed my list of games I'll come back here to try it again, but for now I'll hope for a refund, and I give this game a 3/10.
