Spooky Pixel Hero Is An Atari-Inspired Retro Horror Platformer Now Out On Android

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 history, having created the popular DERE series (DERE Vengeance, DERE EVIL, DERE: Rebirth of Horror), along with other titles such as 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 restoring a 1976 platformer – a game surprisingly advanced for its time.

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

With 120 levels, Spooky Pixel Hero provides ample opportunity to navigate treacherous traps and mind-bending puzzles, gradually uncovering the game's disturbing secrets.

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