App Army Reviews: Spooky Pixel Hero
- Mark Abukoff: This is a cute game with not-too-challenging puzzles, at least early on. I like the vibe of the graphics. The sound is okay. The controls are not the best in that they seem very dim on the screen and there’s no way to configure them. That said, I got used to the controls and made it through the first set of levels. It’s good. It’s not great. The dialogue between two characters now and then is cute with a little storyline about the game. I found out that ‘restore purchases’ gets rid of the ads once you’ve bought it. For that, it’s not bad. Not the most exciting game I’ve ever played but I enjoyed it.
- Tom Chan: Spooky Pixel Hero is a unique and captivating retro-style platformer with a chilling horror twist. This game combines the beloved aesthetics of classic 2D-pixel games with a deeply immersive and unsettling narrative.
- Robert Maines: Spooky Pixel Hero is a very basic-looking platform game with story elements. The conceit of the story is you’re playing an old game that was way ahead of its time to find out about the programmer who wrote it. As you go through the levels you sometimes have to solve a simple puzzle to clean up the ‘corrupted’ data.
- Jason Rosner: Spooky Pixel Hero is the newest horror game in the retro pixel platformer DERE series. I’m a big fan of the previous games from this dev, and I was excited to hear about this release.
- Naail Zahid: I get the devs were trying to go for a creepypasta game in a game thing, but the scariest part of the game is the controls. They are too floaty, especially for a game that requires precise jumps.
- Eduard Pandele: You could say AppSir always makes the same games – old-school merciless precision platformers/puzzlers with extremely wonky controls. That’s on purpose, and that’s what their fans (including me) love – the artificial difficulty fits the horrific storylines perfectly.
- Swapnil Jadhav: Spooky Pixel Hero is an old-style retro pixel platformer game with beautiful 2D-pixel graphics. To be honest such games on mobile phones, people are still playing a lot.
