"Heave Ho" (PC, Switch) published by Devolver Digital

It all started in 2013 with the chance meeting between Frédéric Coispeau and Alexandre Muttoni. One wanted to help resuscitate the "Beat'em all" game genre, the other is passionate about combat sports. It is how Le Cartel Studio was born. 

Florian Reneau joined the team as programmer, and Vincent Cassar (aka Fixions) as composer. Then the team is contacted by Devolver Digital to sign a first publishing deal. In 2016, the team gave birth to its very first game: "Mother Russia Bleeds".

Very different story for their second game. This new journey began during a game jam. Very enthusiastic about the prototype created in 48 hours, the studio decided to continue the development by collaborating with Florence Noé as programmer, and Camille Giraudeau as composer / Sound designer. This project became "Heave Ho" and was released in 2019, published by Devolver Digital.
