Hugo - The Evil Mirror ROM

Hugo – The Evil Mirror is a 2002 video game in the Hugo franchise developed and published by ITE Media for the PlayStation and Windows, and in a different version also for the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance (also known as Hugo Advance), and mobile phones. The evil witch Scylla (Afskylia in the original Danish version) is back and has made a plan to rid herself of the troublesome good troll Hugo once and for all.

She uses her powers to trap Hugo in the titular magic mirror that she then cracks it into three pieces and magically scatters the fragments across the world. Scylla also once again kidnaps Hugo’s wife, Hugolina. Now Hugo and Hugolina’s three children, Rit, Rat, and Ruth (Trollerit, Trollerat and Trollerut), are the only ones who can free their parents. To break the witch’s curse, each child must find a piece of the broken mirror.

If the kids put the mirror together, Hugo is able to defeat Mirror Scylla and break the spell. The Game Boy and mobile version is a 2D platform game similar to Bubble Bobble with elements of Rod Land and Loder Runner. It consists of three levels, each with 20 stages and ending with a fight against the level boss guarding a piece of the mirror. At the start of each stage, the player is tasked with eliminating all of Scylla’s minions in it before the time limit runs out.

Hitting any unprotected enemy with the freeze gun’s beam for a few seconds will turn them into a block of ice that will shatter if pushed off a ledge or jumped on top of. Frozen enemies can be carried around and stack for gaining access to higher parts of the level or to creating even larger more powerful monsters in which to destroy in order to get the treasure contained within them (bonus points, save keys, and power-up upgrades to health and speed).
