Hugo enchanted screens in the 1990s through being the world’s first interactive TV game. TV audiences would compete feverishly to take part in the “phone-in” game show to explore the mines of Hugo’s world, littered with a mix of desirables and dangers.
Fast forward to 2012, the plucky troll is back in a compelling cave running arcade game on iPhone and iPad. His fearless comeback has scored success with Top 3 chart positions in the iTunes appstore across 15 territories. Scurry through mines, jump pitfalls and dynamite, collect a swag of jewels, with the aim being to reunite his family from the clutches of arch-enemy’s, Sculla the witch and Don Croco the malevolent crocodile. With three different game modes, and careful game balancing, Hugo Retro Mania has enough content to hold the attention of a broad audience: from the casual gamer, to the fans of twitch-based arcade gameplay.
Hugo Retro Mania will appeal to those who fell in love with Hugo the first time around, since the Danish-based independent developer, Krea Media, have translated the gameplay of the original TV gameshow to modern-day smartphones and tablets.
