Hugo in the Snow is a mobile game for the J2ME phones developed by ITE Media and published by Kiloo in 2003. Based on the Snowballs minigame from the 1998 PC game Winter Games, it was re-released in the Christmas version as Hugo in the Xmas Snow..
Official description[]
"The winter snow is slowly falling from the cloudy sky. Scylla, the wicked witch, is flying around on her broomstick waiting for the right opportunity to do her vicious magic. She wants to catch Hugolina - Hugo's wife and the most beautiful troll in the woods. Armed with a lot of snowballs, Hugo must protect his lovely wife, children and house from Scylla's wickedness. Throw the icy snowballs at Scylla and her broomstick to stop her. Points are awarded for speed and accuracy."
Gameplay[]
Compared from the original minigame, the game is points-based, has no end, and the snowballs (starting with 15 this time) replenish if the player is successful in shooting down the witch a few times. But as the game progresses, Scylla's speed increases and her movement pattern becomes more irregular.
