```html

Conquer glitches, eerie ghosts, and uncover sinister secrets in this thrilling retro-style platformer.

Something very strange is going on in the pixelated world of Spooky Pixel Hero. When you’re not dodging giant bats and whirling blades in this addictive retro-style platform game, you’ll step outside that immersive game-within-a-game—and discover creepy glitches in its code that hint at a disturbing mystery. There’s more here than meets the eye, making it a must-play for fans of indie horror games!

What we love: The chilling backstory. Beating each bite-size level reveals new clues about the game’s unsettling origin. What’s with the corrupted data files scattered around its ominous castle? Or the ghastly figure you catch in fleeting glimpses throughout your adventure? And why is your employer—the ominous Institute—warning you not to dig any deeper into this retro gaming nightmare? Keep playing to find out!

Quick tip: Crates slide along the floor as you walk on them; you can ride them like chunky surfboards over otherwise deadly obstacles in this engaging platformer. Tap quickly to move crates or change their direction—or you might slip off into danger.

Meet the creator: Spooky Pixel Hero is a prequel to Darius Guerrero’s shared-universe horror games DERE EVIL EXE, Puzzling Peaks EXE, and DERE Vengeance. A talented solo developer based in the Philippines, Guerrero was inspired by his love of retro games to create new titles for classic gaming systems, including the iconic ZX Spectrum computer.
