Loïc Dansart, Indie Game Designer

My first XBLIG game, Gentlemacho, is now available for purchase on XBLIG!

More details about the game and media available here: http://www.epsicode.net/gentlemacho/

The game was created for the Dream, Build, Play Old Spice 2010 contest, and had to be a lighthearted and funny game set in the 4 location of a new Old Spice product.
So I had a crazy idea about a traditional English gentleman that would be changed/cursed into a macho and would fight with extensible body hairs :]

Exploit the power of a true gentleman and whip enemies with your mustache on your noble quest for freshness in this funny and lighthearted 2D action-adventure sidescroller, with old-timey movie cutscenes, classic but crazy gameplay and HD graphics
