AppSir Games, helmed by Darius Immanuel Guerrero, has unleashed a new retro horror platformer onto Android: Spooky Pixel Hero. While this might seem like a new studio, AppSir Games boasts a history of successful titles, including the DERE series (DERE Vengeance, DERE EVIL, DERE: Rebirth of Horror), Puzzling Peaks, and HopBound.
Unmasking Spooky Pixel Hero
Players are thrust into a clandestine mission orchestrated by a shadowy organization. You assume the role of a game developer tasked with repairing a platformer from 1976 – a game surprisingly ahead of its time.
Spooky Pixel Hero transports players back to the golden age of gaming. This vintage 2D pixel art game blends retro charm with thrilling horror, offering a dark narrative woven into classic platforming gameplay.
With 120 levels, Spooky Pixel Hero provides ample opportunity to navigate treacherous traps and mind-bending puzzles, each step revealing more of the game's twisted secrets.
The visuals are a nostalgic yet unsettling blend of 1-bit and 8-bit pixel art, evoking the atmosphere of the 70s and 80s. Intrigued? Check out the trailer below!
Spooky Pixel Hero offers a unique meta-horror experience: debugging an old game while simultaneously navigating a disturbing yet captivating 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 intrigued, download it from the Google Play Store.
