AppSir Games, helmed by Darius Immanuel Guerrero, has unleashed a new retro horror platformer on Android: Spooky Pixel Hero. While this might seem like a newcomer, AppSir Games boasts a successful track record, including the popular DERE series (DERE Vengeance, DERE EVIL, DERE: Rebirth of Horror), Puzzling Peaks, and HopBound.

Meet Spooky Pixel Hero

You're thrust into a clandestine mission by a mysterious organization, taking on the role of a game developer tasked with fixing a 1976 platformer. Interestingly, this in-game title seems remarkably advanced for its era.

Spooky Pixel Hero is a captivating journey back to the golden age of gaming. This vintage 2D pixel art game blends classic platforming with chilling horror, immersing players in a dark narrative woven into its gameplay.

With 120 levels, Spooky Pixel Hero offers substantial playtime for a horror platformer. Expect treacherous traps and mind-bending puzzles, each step revealing more of the game's twisted secrets.

The visuals are a delightful throwback to the 70s and 80s, seamlessly merging 1-bit and 8-bit pixel art for a nostalgic yet unsettling atmosphere. Intrigued? Check out the trailer below!
