They Bleed Pixels announced for Switch, playable at PAX East 2020

Sharpen your claws, Spooky Squid Games is bringing their classic indie platforming slash’em up They Bleed Pixels to Nintendo Switch™ this year, marking the first time the game will be available on consoles!

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.

Heading to PAX East this month? They Bleed Pixels will be playable on Nintendo Switch at the Spooky Squid booth #25080!
