AppSir Games, helmed by Darius Immanuel Guerrero, has unleashed a new retro-style horror platformer on Android: Spooky Pixel Hero.

Prepare for 120 levels packed with treacherous traps and mind-bending puzzles. Every step unravels the game's twisted secrets, drawing you closer to the unsettling truth. The visuals are a nostalgic yet eerie blend of 1-bit and 8-bit pixel art, transporting you back to the 70s and 80s. Intrigued? Check out the trailer below!
