If you like flash games, or play them regularly, then you’ve heard the name Fancy Pants a few times. And if you haven’t played it, you should.

It is rare that you see such a polished game model at work, and its a pleasure to play it. Imagine the perfect combination between Sonic : the hedgehog and Super Mario Bros.

Essentially, you’re fancy pants man. A stick figure character that is very fast and has awesome pants. Its your job to go through levels and evade the nasty spider thingy’s . Or, in the case of Fancy Pants Adventure World 2, you must get the ice cream back from the angry rabbit that stole it from you. He wouldn’t give it back, even after you shook your mighty fist at him. Thats just not right.

As you play fancy pants man, you’ll notice that being a stick man in squiggle world is  very natural. The graphics fit the character…….like pants. (i got pages of these jokes so stick with me, lol) you notice that the level design is primarily focused on solving small and simple puzzles and not so much  defeating bad spiders. You’ll notice a lot of parodies made on both Mario and Sonic, all of them are tasteful and good natured.

What really amazed me the most was the shear amount of polish on the game.  You can tell that the guy(s) who made this game really wanted it to be great. They put a lot of time into it and it shows with smooth game-play and excellent mechanics, and sincere feeling that everything in the game is supposed to be there.

the game itself is a little short, but i think thats a good thing in this case because the game is rich with easter eggs, trophies, and even different colors of pants.

And to tie it all together, this game is FUN. (you remember fun, right?)  Its defiantly an example of a good idea executed perfectly.

PLAY IT!!
