it was so hard getting it right trying to make it plausibly look like a game that visually is from the late 70s and early 80s while still looking nifty enough for modern audiences, so i'm glad the vibe was appreciated here. thanks for the pre-order! Thank you as well!

Many think games from 1976 were just black-and-white, blocky, and joyless. Given they're nearly fifty years old, it's understandable. But we wanted to change that view as we promote our "lost game from 1976". Here's a tribute video for YouTube Shorts showing how fun and colorful those games of that year really were. It's also a bit of a teaser for Spooky Pixel Hero, made with its lore in mind. Enjoy the retro gaming nostalgia!
A great trailer. I love retro style graphics as at the end of the day it’s all about gameplay. This looks so playable. Can’t wait to get it
