Explore a haunted Atari-style game in Spooky Pixel Hero, the follow-up to DERE Vengeance by Appsir

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 plunges you into the unsettling world of a 1976 game, where appearances deceive.

As a game developer hired by a mysterious agency, you're tasked with debugging a lost platformer. Prepare for a challenging experience with over 120 levels of hardcore platforming action. But be warned: the story transcends the game itself, hinting at sinister consequences far beyond your initial assignment.

Spooky Pixel Hero evokes the chilling atmosphere of Airdorf Games' Faith, offering a similar blend of unsettling mystery and challenging gameplay. While the pixel art style might not be perfectly historically accurate, its pseudo-retro aesthetic effectively builds a dense and unsettling world.
