They Bleed Pixels, I Give Money

I say it all the time: I'm a sucker for lo-fi art and fast-paced action. Release something along those lines and you will instantly have my money in your hands. Do you see then, why I am ready to throw my digital cash at They Bleed Pixels?

According to developer Spooky Squid Games, "They Bleed Pixels is a fast-paced, gothic lo-fi, platforming beat 'em up that drips, gushes and flows." It's like they invaded my mind, discovered exactly what I'm willing to funnel money into, and created it. Crafty sonuvabitches, them.

It looks like Super Meat Boy, League of Evil, and N+ rolled into a cute package that is shredded apart by an equally cute vampire lolita. You jump, you float, you avoid spikes, and you beat the undead hell out of anyone dumb enough to enter your proximity. It looks and sounds joyous. The more stylish the kill, the quicker you fill up your checkpoint meter, and are able to spawn at your point of choice. Innovative mechanics are always a nice addition.
