Spooky Pixel Hero: A Retro Horror Platformer from Appsir

Appsir, the creators of the critically acclaimed DERE Vengeance, are back with a new mobile game: Spooky Pixel Hero. This meta-horror platformer plunges players into a sinister 1976 retro game 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, all while unraveling a story that transcends the game itself, hinting at potentially terrifying consequences.

The game's retro pixel art style, while not historically accurate, effectively creates a disturbingly unsettling atmosphere, reminiscent of Airdorf Games' Faith. This unsettling aesthetic perfectly complements the hardcore platforming action.

Prepare for Frights!

The blend of intense platforming and a mysterious meta-horror narrative promises a unique gaming experience. While purists might debate the graphical authenticity, the pixel art's abstract nature successfully generates a palpable sense of unease.

Given Appsir's track record with DERE Vengeance, Spooky Pixel Hero is expected to deliver genuine scares, despite its seemingly lighthearted title. Look for it on Google Play and the iOS App Store starting August 12th!
