Spooky Squid Games have announced the release date for the Nintendo Switch version of their action-platformer, They Bleed Pixels.
Originally released in 2012, They Bleed Pixels is a fast-paced and challenging action-platformer about a disturbed girl sent to the Lafcadio Academy for Troubled Young Ladies. Hack and slash your way through her disturbing dreams before her nightmarish transformation becomes real.
They Bleed Pixels is available on Windows PC, Linux, Mac (all via Steam), and October 22nd for Nintendo Switch. You can find the Nintendo Switch release date trailer below.
You can find a rundown (via Nintendo) below:
A fiendishly difficult action platformer inspired by weird fiction and gothic horror.
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.
They Bleed Pixels balances a perfect mix of fast-paced acrobatic platforming and fierce, one-button, slash’em up combat. By suppressing your urge to button mash in favor of focusing on stylish and smart kills, you are rewarded with checkpoints you can choose when to place for safety… or try your luck by holding onto them for extra bonus points.
