History VideoGame / Bleed

* BondOneLiner: Perform well enough (it may depend on your style gauge) against the Chopper Core and Wryn will say "And that takes care of the cremation!!" She then immediately lampshades it with, "Hee hee! I feel like such a badass!!"

* BottomlessMagazines: Any weapon, but the guns take the cake. Wryn easily use thousands of bullet per level and never recharge.

* AmbidextrousSprite: Averted with Wryn, even though the graphics style is a pastiche of an era when this was nearly universal.

'''''Bleed''''' is an indie run-and-gun game by the upcoming developer Ian Campbell of Bootdisk Revolution. You play as Wryn, a girl with a big arsenal and bigger dreams as she strives to become the greatest video game hero out there by killing off the former heroes, but rest assured, [[NintendoHard it'll be a task easier said than done]]. Not to worry as she can arm her to the teeth with an assortment of weapons at her disposal, and when things really gets crazy, she can also [[BulletTime slow time to a crawl]] when needed.

* {{Retraux}}: And a 16-bit styled {{action game}} with chiptune music at that.

** AwesomeYetPractical: ...White. It's a weapon that comes with a character you unlock once you beat the game on Hard. Its power goes up along with the style gauge. At first, it looks like a [[AwesomeButImpractical painstakingly difficult]] weapon to use with the character who gets it by default, until you realize Wryn can also equip it. Once you reach rank A or S, it's a matter of ''seconds'' before bosses go down. Needless to say, the Very Hard difficulty becomes much more manageable afterwards.

* BottomlessPits: The first level averts this but a few of the later levels do have them.

It was released on December 12th, 2012, and you can find the game on {{Xbox 360}} via [[XboxLiveArcade Xbox LIVE Indie Games]] for 240 Mircosoft Points and on PC via {{DESURA}}, [=GamersGate=], the developer's website, and recently on {{Steam}} as voted by the fans at Steam Greenlight for $5. An update for the game has added a two-player co-op feature, allowing you and a partner take down the former video game heroes together.

* CoOpMultiplayer: Added in v1.1, however, it's local co-op only and both players share the same Life and Time meters.

* GameOverMan: Wryn will [[BreakingTheFourthWall quip to you]] when she dies, ranging from comforting ("It's not your fault! They just got lucky that time!") to insulting ("Do you have an older brother who could clear this part?!")
* GameplayGrading: At the end of a mission, the game grades your score based on time, style points, and how often you died, if at all.

* GunsAkimbo: One of Wryn's default weapons is a set of [[{{Handguns}} dual pistols]]. A variant of the Dual Pistols allows Wryn to shoot in front of her and in the opposite direction.

--> '''Wryn:''' "Don't worry, it's just a game. I'll be back in a sec."

* ScoringPoints: Not just for high scores in each level, but also for points to spend in the shop for [[HeartContainer Life and Time upgrades]] and weapons.

* SleevesAreForWimps: Wryn's outfit lacks them.
* StickyBomb: The Remote Mines can stick to the environment and on enemies.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Wryn loves ice cream sundaes.
* UnlockableContent: By beating the game on Normal, Hard, and Very Hard, you unlock [[spoiler:[[RobotMe Robo-Wryn]], White, and The Rival]], respectively as playable characters. Each come with their own unique stats and abilities.

** Instead of heading towards [[spoiler: the Rival]], leaving the elevator and jumping on the roof behind it will let Wryn comment how nice the view is. It reminds her of a poem, which she starts to recite: [[GrimFandango "It shone, pale as-"]] She cuts herself off, deciding that it's not the time, but tells the player it's a REALLY good poem.

* AsteroidsMonster: Guppy, the first boss.

* BlondesAreEvil: Somehow. While the rival is not nice, [[spoiler:the only bad thing he did was taking credit for Wryn's achievements. Compared to her multiple murders in cold blood...]]

* BoringButPractical: The default weapons: two pistols and a rocket launcher. They shoot fast, are very powerful, useful for every situation and got the best reach. There is actually no reason to use any other weapon. Except for...

-->'''Wryn (after dying to three bosses in challenge mode)''': This is madness...I LIKE IT!

* CoOpMultiplayer: Added in v1.1, however, it's local co-op only.

** During the last level, you have to fight two weakened clones of each level boss (who act independently). Or in the case of Gibby and Stu, four worms at once. Challenge mode also lets you set up battles against two or even three bosses at once.

* GunsAkimbo: One of Wryn's default weapons is a set of [[{{Handguns}} dual pistols]].

* MeaninglessLives: In the Story Mode, sort of. You have infinite lives, [[ContinuingIsPainful but dying takes a toll on your final score of the stage]].

* ScoringPoints

* ShoutOut: One of Wryn's GameOver quotes includes "[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 YOU PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTOOOOOONNNNN!]]".

* WallJump: Wryn can do this, but interestingly enough, the player can also disable this in the Options menu [[SelfImposedChallenge if they want to rely on her quadruple-jumps alone]].

-->'''Wryn ''': No more! No more!
-->'''Wryn ''': Maybe I can't be the best hero of all time...
-->'''Wryn (dying to three bosses in challenge mode)''': How did we even get in this nightmare?!

* ActionGirl: Wryn.

* BadassAdorable: Wryn is undeniably cute and she can kick some ass.
* BlondesAreEvil: Somehow. While the rival is not nice, [[spoiler: the only bad thing he did was taking credit for Wryn's achievements. Compared to her multiple murders in cold blood...]]
* BoringButPractical: The default weapons: two guns and a rocket launcher. They shoot fast, are very powerful, useful for every situation and got the best reach. There is actually no reason to use any other weapon. Except for...

* DoubleJump: A quadruple-jump, to be exact, which can also act as [[VideoGameDashing air-dash]] since you can jump/dash in any direction.

* GenkiGirl: Wryn is a very happy girl, almost bordering on {{Pollyanna}} territory. While she sports an unflinching poker face during the levels, she smiles very brightly once it's done. And of course, there is the final cutscene.

* HarderThanHard: The aptly-named [[NintendoHard Very Hard]] difficulty.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: Wryn can get one in the game, which can also deflect bullets.

* NintendoHard: Lots of enemies, no recovery items.
** DownplayedTrope: There are also a lot of checkpoints and infinite continues.

* RankInflation: The scoring system when you chain attacks from shooting down enemies. Your style points bonuses goes by (from least-to-highest) D, C, B, A, and finally S. Taking damage or not shooting enemies for a while will definitely bring your bonuses down.

* VillainProtagonist: Wryn is a very kind individual. She keeps encouraging the player whenever he fails and can't stop gushing about him whenever he succeeds. There is also the final cutscene that is a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, [[spoiler: what with the teary eyes, heartful thanks and congratulations]]. All that can easily make you forget that Wryn is a ''murderous and insane psychopath who goes out of her way to kill heroes just because she wants to prove she is the best of them''. Hell, she doesn't have any excuse since the previous heroes did nothing to deserve her wrath, aside retiring and being lazy. She was very lucky [[spoiler: someone took the credit for her killings or she would have been hated by the whole world.]]
* WallJump: Wryn can do this, but interestingly, the player can also disable this [[SelfImposedChallenge if they want to rely on her quadruple-jumps alone]].
