They Bleed Pixels News

We've teamed up with the fine folks at Premium Edition to release physical collectors editions of They Bleed Pixels for Nintendo Switch. The month long pre-order period starts today (November 16th) and along with the Standard Release there is also a very limited number of an extra special Retro Edition which comes with a bunch of goodies packed in a SNES style box!

A new update just dropped for They Bleed Pixels sorting out some issues that have come up over the years as new hardware has been released and operating systems have updated.

Here are the highlights:

ːtbphappyː macOS Catalina support!
For those who don't know, the latest macOS version cut off support for 32-bit games and apps, including They Bleed Pixels. This update brings us up to 64-bit making it compatible with Catalina and future macOS updates.

ːtbphappyː Fixes for issues caused by Windows 10 and newer hardware!
A small number of players have run into issues with They Bleed Pixels not loading on newer hardware in Windows 10. This update should handle those special cases. Give us a shout if it doesn't!

ːtbphappyː Improved Gamepad support
This includes a number of things. Support for hot swapping. New button images and detection for Dual Shock, Xbox One and Switch Pro controllers and a fix for the bug that caused sticky inputs when playing on keyboard with a gamepad plugged in. We strongly recommend not using any of Steam's built in gamepad support when playing the game. The game does a much better job providing correct button prompts etc..

For a full breakdown of all the changes check this post from Ethan Lee who provided the update:
