Spooky Pixel Hero: A Retro Horror Platformer Coming August 12th

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

In this unique gameplay experience, you'll take on the role of a game developer tasked with debugging a lost platformer for a mysterious organization. Prepare for a challenging journey through over 120 levels of intense platforming action. The narrative transcends the game's boundaries, hinting at sinister consequences lurking beneath the surface of your seemingly simple mission.

Spooky Pixel Hero evokes the unsettling atmosphere of Airdorf Games' Faith, offering a similar blend of retro aesthetics and chilling narrative. While purists might debate the historical accuracy of the graphics, the pseudo-retro pixel art effectively creates a disturbingly compelling world.

ytSubscribe to Pocket Gamer on Prepare for a fright! The game promises both hardcore platforming and a captivating meta-horror story. Despite its seemingly lighthearted title, expect a genuinely spooky experience reminiscent of Appsir's previous success, DERE Vengeance.

Spooky Pixel Hero launches on Google Play and the iOS App Store on August 12th. In the meantime, explore our lists of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 for more thrilling options!
