Out at midnight: Comb, style, and twirl moustaches in Mr. Montgomery's Debonair Facial Hair

If Mr. Montgomery's Debonair Facial Hair had debuted a year ago, its stars surely would have made it onto our top 5 gaming moustaches list.

No matter: the maker of this iOS and Android game won the 2013 BAFTA New Talent Award for Best Game, instead. Not a bad 'consolation' prize.

Taking up the role of an apprentice in the titular barber shop, you use your finger to comb the moustaches of the eccentric residents of Stashton Upon Sea.

To gain the elusive title of "Moustache Maestro", you'll have to master the elaborate and quirky 186 moustache styles. The farmer wants his facial hair looking like corn, you see, while Mr Montgomery would be delighted with a push broom styled like a barber's pole.

As always, nothing is as simple as it sounds.

In this case, there are six ruffians that obstruct the screen. The black holes that appear try to suck up the facial hair in undesired directions, for example.

Mr. Montgomery's Debonair Facial Hair will go live on the App Store and Google Play at midnight, priced 69p / 99c. Nope, there aren't any in-app purchases.
