About Super Hunchback

Super Hunchback is a platforming game where the player controls Quasimodo on a mission to rescue Esmeralda from a villain named Halfenpounder. The gameplay involves navigating through diverse environments where running and jumping are essential actions.

Players must avoid hazards such as spiked pits, which are fatal, and rolling logs that can temporarily stun the character. Interacting with elements like ropes for swinging is part of the navigation. Collecting fruit appears as an activity within the levels.

Each stage concludes when Quasimodo rings a large bell. The game includes occasional hidden bonus stages and character animations during idle moments, which are suggested as the reason for the "Super" in its title.
