To do:

  • Quite a lot more:
    • Check the entire backed and audio/frontend folders. All of them seem to be full of Hugo leftovers (models, sounds, enemies, levels etc.).
    • More unused text.
    • Unused tutorial text.
    • no_cutscene_texture.etc might be unused.
    • Lots of unused sounds

Horrid Henry: The Good, The Bad & The Bugly is basically a horrid shovelware platformer game that has Horrid Henry's name slapped on it, set in a fantasy world.

This would be Asylum Entertainment's last game they ever developed before closing their doors in 2012, ending on a horrid note.

Hugo Leftovers#

According to several leftovers and almost all gameplay features and many level designs that made it into the final game, the game was originally going to be a 3DS port of Hugo: Magic in the Troll Woods, before it was turned into a Horrid Henry game for whatever reason. Given the amount of leftovers, the game was most likely reworked very late in development.
