Another giant mythical worm is coming to eat you later this summer.

Messhof Blood Dungeon is the new game from Nidhogg and Wheel World studio Messhof, and it looks like a silly platforming mess complete with MS Paint-style graphics, twitchy mechanics and, of course, giant flying worms. These are all positive descriptors, clearly.

Blood Dungeon is a hand-animated, auto-shooting 2D platformer that features six arenas, nine unique playable characters, more than 100 weapons and over 100 enemy types. The majority of these features are unlocked as you advance through the maps dodging traps, collecting resources and kiting enemies to strategic locations. Each stage has plenty of platforms, obviously, but also nets, ladders, chains and water areas to keep things interesting as hordes of enemies hunt you down.
