This game is the first of 3 spin-off games featuring the Quasimodo character from the currently in-development game Hunchback Redux, also for the Commodore 64.
The objective is to guide Quasimodo through 12 Christmas-themed levels clearing all the snowballs and collecting precious stars and collectables which will appear throughout, whilst avoiding the many obstacles and Happy Little Elves. Warning! The Elves don’t stay happy for long going about their business – if you take too long clearing the snowballs, they will magically turn on Quasimodo and become Naughty Little Elves looking to stop him with their snowball guns. And watch out! lurking in the wings is an evil snowman called Boris who will be out to try and thwart Quasimodo from completing his Christmas Caper.
