AppSir Games, spearheaded by Darius Immanuel Guerrero, has unleashed a new retro horror platformer onto the Android scene: Spooky Pixel Hero. While this might seem like a newcomer, AppSir Games boasts a solid track record, having previously delivered successful titles such as the DERE series (DERE Vengeance, DERE EVIL, DERE: Rebirth of Horror), Puzzling Peaks, and HopBound.

Who's This Pixelated Protagonist?

Players are thrust into a clandestine mission orchestrated by a shadowy organization. You take on the role of a game developer tasked with restoring a platformer from 1976 – a game surprisingly advanced for its time.

Spooky Pixel Hero transports you back to the golden age of gaming. This vintage 2D pixel art game seamlessly blends classic platforming with spine-tingling horror, offering a dark narrative woven into its core gameplay.

With 120 levels, Spooky Pixel Hero provides ample opportunity to navigate treacherous traps and mind-bending puzzles, each step bringing you closer to uncovering the game's unsettling mysteries.

The visuals are a captivating throwback to the 70s and 80s, masterfully combining 1-bit and 8-bit pixel art to create a nostalgic yet unsettling atmosphere. Intrigued? Check out the trailer below!

Spooky Pixel Hero offers a unique meta-horror experience, blending the act of debugging an old game with an unsettling yet captivating abstract world. As you progress, you'll unravel a sinister backstory filled with pixelated spirits, ghostly glitches, and Lovecraftian terrors.

The game is free-to-play. If this sounds like your cup of tea, download it from the Google Play Store.
