We just added an Excessive Blood slider to Forbidden Solitaire (will appear in a future update). No you can't turn it off or make it green because it's baked into too many backgrounds + it's a horror a game. This affects particles only.

Q. I just changed the tooltip to say "Adjust the amount of extra blood particles!". Is "particles" just a game dev thing? Should I just say "Adjust the amount of extra blood drops!" instead? or "special effects"?

Finished forbidden solitaire by @greyalien.bsky.social games today, its been my favourite so far of their solitaire games.

Went back and got the extra ending as well, really tough final fight.

Noticed a New Game+ which is cool, I'm missing 5 steam achievements.

DLC coming soon, cant wait!

Forbidden Solitaire is a great example of why indie games are so important. As the "AAA" market shrivels up and creativity dies, we get stuff like this. Big swings taken by small passionate teams deserve your support. I had a blast with this.
