Appsir, the creators of the terrifyingly brilliant DERE Vengeance, are back with a new mobile game: Spooky Pixel Hero. This retro-styled, meta-horror platformer drops you into the shoes of a game developer tasked with debugging a mysteriously lost 1976 platformer. Prepare for over 120 levels of challenging platforming action, all while unraveling a story that blurs the lines between the game world and reality, hinting at sinister consequences.
Spooky Pixel Hero evokes the chilling atmosphere of Airdorf Games' Faith, offering a unique blend of hardcore platforming and unsettling narrative. While the pixel art style might not be perfectly historically accurate, its pseudo-retro aesthetic effectively builds a dense and unsettling world.
