Are you ready for a spooky good time? If so, you’ll love this week’s game spotlight pick, Spooky Pixel Hero by AppSir Games. Spooky Pixel Hero is a 2D downward platformer that’s equally fun as it is terrifying.

So let’s take a closer look at Spooky Pixel Hero by AppSir Games!

Now available for download on iOS, Google Play, and Steam

Spooky Pixel Hero: A Horror Platformer Retro Game Like No Other 

In Spooky Pixel Hero, players step into the shoes of a video game developer tasked with repairing a retro platformer game from 1976. Unfortunately, the job and the game aren’t what they seem. There are mysterious secrets at play here, secrets that go beyond gameplay. It’s up to you to play through all 120 challenging levels and uncover the dark truth. 

Each level is filled with deadly traps and puzzles that you must solve in order to find the hidden exit door key. The further you progress, the more nightmarish the journey becomes with ghostly glitches and pixelated spirit encounters. You’ll find yourself questioning reality and your skills as you attempt to escape each infuriating trap and tricky puzzle. 

The unique mix of 1-bit and 8-bit pixel art in this game provides an eerie vintage vibe that definitely pays homage to the 70s and 80s gaming era. As with all AppSir Games, prepare to be fully immersed in a haunting adventure and a whole lot of fun. 

If you’re a fan of AppSir Games or love horror platformers, Spooky Pixel Hero is a must-play!

We love to see our customers find success with their games. So, big congratulations to AppSir Inc. and Darius Guerrero on Spooky Pixel Hero’s success. It’s a great example of the type of chart topping 2D platformer games you can make in Buildbox Classic. 

We hope it’s inspired you to start working on your game today!
