I've never heard of Fancy Pants prior to this; is the Flash game worth a look?

I think definetly. I mean it's a flash game, so it's probably not gonna entertain you for hours or anything, but i had fun with it for a good couple of minutes at least.

Hm. Strange. This looks like it controls amazingly. It's like N, but even more refined... But it doesn't look like the actual game holds up at all! Maybe it's just me, but it looks like someone figured out the best platforming controls ever (and made the perfect animations to emphasize), then didn't quite manage to make a game worthy of them...

Played the flash of this - was reasonably fun at the time, particularly the feel and animation of the movement.

Good to see Patrick in his first QL.

Patrick's first QL, neat-o.  


Kind of reminds me of MTV's old Stick Figure Theater but with the color filled in.  Actually, it really reminds me of that Line Rider game but again, with color.

Loved Patrick on G4 Feedback, but he seems more lively here than he ever did there... 

I suppose it's the Whiskey Media juju at work!

You guys really need to stop blowing by the fucking instructions. Seriously, its getting to the point where almost every single game you do a quick look of gets misrepresented because you just don't read the thing telling you what to do.


After all the bitching about Patrick on the Bombcast (which I kind of agreed with, he didn't really bring anything to the table, just took up some time, but it didn't really make the Bombcast that much worse), and everyone saying that if he's bad in the Bombcast he's bad in everything, he seems like an awesome addition to this quick look. Better than Alex has ever been. Dude is a great writer but I can't stand him as a personality on Giantbomb.

This and N were my JAM during study in middle school. The animation reminds me of Ed, Edd, & Eddy though. Good stuff! Glad they didn't just port the Flash version.

You need to get the snail shell into that hole near that flag in the challenge room near that frog. It's like golf.

Also, it's funny that they compare it to mirrors edge because the guy who made this game did the 2D version of mirrors edge online.

I loved the flash game. It was like a mix of old Sonic and Mario.

For anyone that was confused at that part where they had to complete a trial within 100 seconds or something and they got to the end with the large flag and it looked like they were stuck, here is what was up with that:
That is a "golf" type of game where they have to kick the snail shell that was at the beginning of that little level and get it to that large flag at the end. The only reason I know this is because one of the Fancy Pants flash games had a similar "golf" type challenge. I'm not sure why this game did not take the time to explain that

I think I will  wait for David Cage's "Don't Shit Your Pants" instead.


It's a great game, but where do you draw the line?

Patrick's blood-curdling scream when he saw all those bats was fantastic!
