Hugo Troll Race is an action video game in the Hugo franchise, developed by Hugo Games and published by Krea Medie in 2012 for the Android system mobile devices and made free-to-play in 2013. It was also released as Hugo Troll Race HD for the iPad;[1] a PC version was released by Software Pyramide in Germany. It is a remake of the "handcar" minigame from the 1992 Amiga game Hugo - På Nye Eventyr (released as just Hugo in an export version outside Denmark), which was itself based on the early 1990s scenarios from the TV game show Hugo.

Release

The game was announced to be released by Hugo Games A/S for the iPhone and iPad in early July 2012.[2] Upon its initial release, the game has been downloaded more than 1 million times in just three days, making it the most downloaded app in 25 countries and the most successful Danish game for IOS.[3]

In the first Krea Medie Hugo merchandise, Adimex released a line of Hugo Troll Race themed bath products in 2013.[4] A new jungle theme came with an update and the game was eventually made free.[3] In April 2013, the game was updated to feature a "TrollCopter" and new playable characters such as Indiana Troll, Agent Hugo and Hugolina.[5] In July 2013, the Surfer's Cove update added a sea scenario and two more new characters.[6]
