Bleed scratches an itch that the Mega Man Zero series use to for me. It hit all the high notes of the genre perfectly too. Well designed boss encounters that make great use of the game mechanics. The ability to deflect incoming fire and cut dudes with a sword is always super satisfying. Any side scroller with a sweet train level is always good in my book. The game is short and the price is more than fair.
Bleed is easily one of my favorite indie games now, up there with Cave Story and Suguri. You can tell it's made by someone that loves this kind of game, and aren't just doing another 2D "retro" indie game. I hope this game does well, I had a dumb grin the whole time playing it.
