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 the studio might seem new to some, they're veterans of the genre, having created the successful DERE series (DERE Vengeance, DERE EVIL, DERE: Rebirth of Horror), Puzzling Peaks, and HopBound.

Unmasking Spooky Pixel Hero

Players are thrust into a clandestine mission orchestrated by a shadowy organization. You embody a game developer tasked with repairing a 1976 platformer – a game within a game that surprisingly surpasses its era.

Spooky Pixel Hero transports players to the golden age of gaming. This vintage 2D pixel art title blends classic platforming with chilling horror, immersing you in a dark narrative.

With 120 levels, Spooky Pixel Hero offers a substantial amount of gameplay for a horror platformer. These levels are filled with treacherous traps and mind-bending puzzles, each step revealing more of the game's twisted secrets.

The visuals are a nostalgic yet unnerving blend of 1-bit and 8-bit pixel art, evoking the aesthetics of the 70s and 80s. Intrigued? Check out the trailer below!
