Spooky Pixel Hero: A Retro Horror Platformer from Appsir

Appsir, the creators of the critically acclaimed horror game DERE Vengeance, are back with a new mobile title: Spooky Pixel Hero. This meta-horror platformer plunges players into a 1976 retro game world where appearances deceive.

In Spooky Pixel Hero, you're a game developer tasked by a mysterious agency with debugging a lost platformer from 1976. Prepare for over 120 levels of challenging platforming action, interwoven with a narrative that transcends the game itself, hinting at sinister consequences for your seemingly simple task.

The game's retro pixel art style, while perhaps not historically accurate, effectively creates a disturbingly compelling atmosphere, reminiscent of Airdorf games' Faith. The unsettling aesthetic complements the hardcore platforming, promising a unique blend of genres.

Prepare for Frights!

The combination of intense platforming and a mysterious meta-horror story is sure to captivate players. While purists might debate the graphical accuracy, the pseudo-retro pixel art successfully builds a dense, unsettling world.

If Spooky Pixel Hero follows in the footsteps of DERE Vengeance, expect some genuinely frightening moments despite the seemingly lighthearted title. Mark your calendars for August 12th, when the game launches on Google Play and the iOS App Store.
