* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Lampshaded and played for laughs. Two whole levels of the second game take place in open space, and Wryn is just fine, although she cannot really breathe in space – she's just that good at holding her breath.

* ArrangeMode:Both games have the Arcade mode, wherein you pick any difficulty level and run through the whole game [[NoDeathRun on a single life]]. [[invoked]] The first game lets you adjust the length of your health and energy meters for the run, while the second lets you choose to play Freestyle (any character can be chosen and all unlockable weapons/air-dodge styles can be picked from the pause menu) or New Game (play as Wryn with just her twin pistols, katana, and basic air-dodge). Another feature in both games is Challenge mode, where you get to pick any combination of up to three bosses from the main game and fight against all of them at once. Finally, ''Bleed 2'' adds the Endless mode, which is a series of five miniature levels where the layouts, enemies, and bosses are randomized.

Added DiffLines:

* TennisBoss: The second game likes it a lot, with most boss battles featuring big energy balls that can be sent back for appreciable damage; the final boss can even send them back to you again a few times at an increasingly quicker pace. Downplayed in that they can simply be dodged and aren't required to win.

Plucky, a character from developer's first game, also makes a playable cameo in ''Bleed 2''.



* SelfImposedChallenge: You can disable Wryn's ability to WallJump in the options menu (first game only), but Arcade Mode does more as you have to go through the whole game in one life. Arcade Mode allows you to enable a timer in the game and lets you adjust your own Life Meter, all the way to being a OneHitPointWonder if you're ''really'' masochistic.

Added DiffLines:

* FallenHero: Some of the Greatest Heroes of All-time fall into this trope.
** Bunny Rockette is the first obvious case of a hero who has fallen from grace. She previously used to purely race others for fortune, and give the funds away to charity. But now, not only is she keeping the funds to herself, she has recruited a gang that is willing to resort to violence, as much of the 4th level can attest.
** Guppy heavily downplayed this, as he has fully withdrawn and retired to his mansion, secluded from society, and has let himself go in the process. Unlike Gibby and Stu, who retired to raise a family, Guppy does nothing productive during his time in retirement.

Added DiffLines:

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Valentine in the second game, if you assume a playthrough with only the Pistols and Katana. [[spoiler:On her own, Wryn has no way to defeat Valentine while her shield is up, since it is ImmuneToBullets and she is smart enough to not use attacks that can be reflected at her with enough power to break it. With this in mind, Valentine should have been able to easily defeat Wryn in both scenarios she uses it. Unfortunately in the second fight with it, she abused and angered her fans by using them as cannon fodder and as part of her telekinesis attacks and by forcefully taking weapons from them when she decided she needed one. This causes Valentine's fan to turn on her and, on Wryn's cue, start ProducePelting at Valentine, which is surprisingly enough to break the shield and leave her vulnerable.]]

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Wryn's journey to be so is basically the whole plot of ''Bleed''.



* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Wryn's journey to be so is basically the whole plot of ''Bleed''.


Added DiffLines:

* LethalJokeCharacter: Plucky is this in the second game. He cannot use the normal weapons that Wryn and the Rival can, and is effectively a platforming game protagonist in the wrong game, having no weapon or reliable method of deflecting attacks and has a traditional double jump rather than an air dash of any type. In his panic, he will use finger guns to attack, which surprisingly cannot be deflected at all and also have the ability to randomly dish out a powerful explosive attack (With the tendency increasing the more panicked Plucky is, AKA the closer he is to getting hit), and his taunt can be used to deflect any attack color. (Though not reliably, due to the need to hold the taunt in order to charge the deflect effect) This makes him surprisingly strong, but also (as expected) difficult to use compared to obviously more powerful characters like Wryn.
