They Bleed Pixels Is The Latest Canadian Indie Coming To Switch
/ Stephen CraneThey Bleed Pixels, the 2D-pixel platformer originally released in 2012 is coming to Switch later this year, its first release on console. The Toronto based developer, Spooky Squid, is also working on Russian Subway Dogs which is out on PC and coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox One this year.
As an anonymous student of the Lafcadio Academy for Troubled Young Ladies, you must battle through your nightmares to defeat a curse that’s slowly transforming your body into a clawed demonic form. Originally released for PC in 2012, They Bleed Pixels balances a perfect mix of fast-paced acrobatic platforming and fierce, one-button, slash’em up combat. By suppressing their urge to button mash in favour of focusing on stylish and smart kills, players are rewarded with a checkpoint they can choose when to place for safety... or try their luck by holding onto it for extra bonus points.
If you can’t wait until later this year, you can pick up They Bleed Pixels on Steam right now.
