AppSir Games, helmed by Darius Immanuel Guerrero, has unleashed a new retro-style horror platformer onto the Android landscape: Spooky Pixel Hero.

Unmasking Spooky Pixel Hero
The game plunges you 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 advanced for its era.
Spooky Pixel Hero transports players back to the golden age of gaming. This vintage 2D pixel art game masterfully blends classic platforming mechanics with spine-tingling horror. The dark narrative unfolds subtly, adding depth to the retro gameplay.
With 120 levels, Spooky Pixel Hero offers a substantial amount of gameplay for a horror platformer. These levels are filled with perilous traps and mind-bending puzzles, each step bringing you closer to uncovering the game's twisted secrets.
The visuals are a captivating throwback to the 70s and 80s, seamlessly merging 1-bit and 8-bit pixel art to create a nostalgic yet unsettling atmosphere. Intrigued? Check out the trailer below!
