The Flash game Fancy Pants Adventures is one part Super Mario Bros., a dash of Sonic, and a heaping tablespoon of originality. Brad Borne's fancy-pants-wearing stick figure stars in a side-scrolling platformer that emphasizes speed, exploration, and acrobatics. It's a well-polished title that stands tall over the deluge of second-rate Flash platforming games.PlanetFreeplay sat down with Brad and prodded out details about his past as a programmer and the Fancy Pants development process -- we also get his top five. But the question we all wanted to ask was left out: boxers or briefs?
The first world of Fancy Pants is a great start to the series, and Brad is hard at work on World 2. This is one of the few Flash platformers that actually feels like an original game and not some dull Mario clone.
