Good to hear you figured it out! It auto saves when you finish a level, but if you close the game mid-way without exiting the level first, it doesn't know to make a mid-level save. Glad you're enjoying it!
That would definitely be a difficult port! Apart from everything else the screen on the playdate is very different than the full color 720p screen They Bleed Pixels was designed around. It is an intriguing little device though!
Played it before and decided to try it out on the Steam Deck now, runs great and is also really fun there (downloaded the linux version from here and added as non-steam game).
The game's hard but the art style and fluidity of combat/combos is really something. Love it!
Not gonna lie, I love this game to pieces. I haven't been able to get past one specific part in the full mode, though. I'd still be trying if my gaming laptop hadn't bricked itself, though. I love the story that's coming together. The art style is fantastic from the cutscenes to the gameplay. I love the hack n slash. I even love the fiendish difficulty that drove me to improve hours at a time. It's all just... so good. Very high quality work! You folks put your hearts and souls into this game, and it shows!
Am I the only who who got like extra sensitive ... everything ? with keyboard or pad, if I press one key shortly, it's like I'm spamming. Impossible to choose anything, like there is a x800 speed...
In situations where the game is running too fast, disabling vsync often works but still may result in slight speed issues on some setups. This is my recommended fix for high refresh monitors (should also be useful for other games with this problem):
If you have an Nvidia card: Open the Nvidia control panel, go to Manage 3D settings and click the "program settings" tab.
Under "select program to customize" select "they bleed pixels pc.exe" , you may need to click the "Add" button to locate it but if you've run it recently it's probably in the list.
Once it's selected, find Max Frame Rate in the "Specify the settings for this program" list and set it to 60fps. Click apply and you should be good to go.
They Bleed Pixels should now play at the correct frame rate and speed regardless of your monitor settings with v-sync on, and it won't impact other games.
If you have an AMD card you should be able to do something similar using the application profiles and "Radeon Chill". Just make sure you apply the settings only to They Bleed Pixels and set the min and max values to 60.
Unfortunately I don't have access to a machine with an AMD card so haven't been able to confirm this works, but it should be the same.
hi, i did the nvidia thing and it seems to be working, so thanks :)
i wonder if you might be able to help with another problem while i have you
when i launch the game it likes to minimize itself, repeatedly, and i just have to keep bringing it back to the foreground until it stops. i’m not sure what to make of it. my only guess is that my computer doesn’t like changing resolution from 1080p to 720p. i do have the same problem sometimes with other games that use a different resolution
Good to hear that helped! The repeated auto-minimizing is a new one. I haven't come across it before or had any bug reports regarding that, so it might be something unique to your system. Are you running the exe directly or using the itch client?
I did a bit of googling and this looks like a good checklist of possible causes if this is actually a general issue with your setup and multiple games. I'll also let you know if I hear of anyone else having this issue or come up with a solution.

yeah it's a great game!! super cool
your game would be very welcome on the playdate :)

I understand :) That would be for sur a tough work.
Thank for reading and answering

Thanks! Great to hear this version is running nicely on Steam Deck.

Thanks so much! It's always great to hear from folks who enjoyed the game :D
This game was a lot of fun and I really love the artstyle ^^
THATS THE GIRL FROM BLEED 2
Other way around (she's a guest in Bleed 2) but yes!

i fixed this by disabling vsync (my monitor is 240Hz)
Oh wow, I just thought that this is how the game was supposed to run haha. This might help quite a bit
well, I'll need patience to fix it, the time to get to this option x
