Custom Blood can be obtained through the Toribash Forum Shop. Once you have obtained enough credits you can
buy a custom blood colour. However there are limitations! You must have your key registered on the forum and
you must also have the same in game name as your forum name.

==================
= General Advice =
==================
Don't change too many forces every round and tweak your character to a stall.
In multiplayer focus on balance over impact velocity.
A player that uses 90% of his power and can maintain his balance usually comes out on top
Punching is more about controlling upper body than actual arms (a bit like in real boxing)
have fun!
