Good stuff, I promise.

I’ve been adding all the engine refinements from ME2D back into FPA. Crazy how much better the game looks with character rotational smoothing. No more jitters, yay!
Fancy Pants Man now has 3 separate run cycles, want to add a whole bunch of different jumps too. I’m nuts. Got a lot of animating ahead of me. Good thing I love animating.

Here’s something that bugs me to no end. I am not Justin Long, you are not John Hodgeman.
Apple uses actors to represent their products, Mircrosoft defines their users by what products they buy. Huge difference there.

So when I’m not doing concept work for World 3, I’ve been playig Super Metroid. Never beat it before, so I figured I should buy it from the Wii VC and do just that. Amazing game. So, I’ve gotten a few emails and such asking about puzzle elements in FPA, nothing overpowering, but what would you guys think of some sort of level or character progression in World 3?

Hey guys, so I’m trying out a new sidebar thingy, something that would allow me to make smaller posts that don’t push down more important posts (like pictures of various pets on my shoulders).
What do you think of the idea? Is the site too thick now? Should I just sell my soul and finally get a twitter to place up here?

Oh good. I’ve found yet another door that has both a wrong location and a failure to let Fancy Pants fully realize his door-exiting fantasies. This one is the exit out of Luis. I’m beginning not to trust those doors in the extra levels.
Of course, the game is reloading right now, so perhaps that is fixed.
On another note, this game is pure and distilled awesome.
Also, World 2 golf is evil. The accursed snail kept rolling off the top-most platform for some time before it finally stuck, at which point I overshot the hole and it bounced back at FP and then over to the oil-slicks waiting below.
How DO you beat negative one anyway? I can’t seem to do anything after a certain point.
Oh, I love the new levels BTW, they do however have bugs. Oh and the FP kicks the snailshell seems to have changed for the worse.
Oh and Brad the secret level with the bees, is that you being the pet of the queen bee.
Oh and I see the multiple references to SMG and I’m like ‘ROFL!’
Yes, the boss fight is up. Does any comment that has a link in it require moderation?
The loading takes to long, when you exit a cameo level it freezes, and you cant exit to the menu, but except for that, BEST-GAME-EVER!!!
Having played through it fully now, and unlocking most things and having done most levels I’ve got my verdict.
BEST FLASH GAME EVER. Period.
Varied level designs, multiple travelling paths, awesome main character, awesome animations, awesome enemies (the spiders look weird when they first appear on screen – legs up in the air and giant eyes… unless they’re meant to do that). Lots of replayability.
The only problem I can find is it’s still very buggy and needs optimizing. I just got to the end and didn’t get to do the boss fight
and oh loading it up takes a long time (only when you first start the game).
Oh and still love the menu structure.
Your first (semi) review! My final score: 9/10! AWESOME!
Oh and Brad, not sure if it’s meant to do this or not but in the secret level for Level 6 (the final level) when you hit the spikes (after going round the giant loop) you get teleported back to the door. And I didn’t die. Is that suppose to happen?
You’d think I’d only get hit (or die from being penetrated by a large spike) and bounce off. I’d understand if I died, but teleporting when not dead?
so awesome but no boss fight
Am I missing something? I can’t seem to be able to get out of the snow secret level. The door in the middle leads to nowhere (a little hole cavern that has nothing in). And I’ve tried going through the top, but this big stalagmite (stalactite?) blocks the way…
I’m probably missing something glaringly obvious here…
Wait, no. Nevermind.
Will you please tell me? I can’t figure that one out either.
@Amilir: Hit the spikes and you get back to the door. That’s how I got out.
@Brad: lmfao! The rabbit ran out of bricks for his walls in his inner sanctum (if you wall-jump you can see them end).
One major disappointment for me: WHERE’S THE PENGUIN?! Should have had him want to take revenge or something, you totally could have had a race stage where the penguin charges and attempts to catch you.
Oh and I don’t know if this is your fault or Armorgames fault but when I return to the menu/title screen it opens a new tab for me (I’m using Firefox 2). Thought it was a bug or something…
here we go again on the preloader. so, the boss fight exists now?
Heh, I was trying to beat the level, not get out. Same thing I guess.
@Amilir: I couldn’t find another way, all the secret levels always lead out to the same place you got in anyway…
@zymn: Yes, the boss fight exists and it’s harder than in FPA1 I reckon. Took me a few tries because I kept doing stupid stuff… ¬¬
I just played for a few hours. The whole game is just epic!
I didn’t like Adam Phillip’s level though, because I couldn’t figure out where he was able to land…
Such an awesome game though! Great job Brad!
just beat the boss. cool ending.
I still can’t get to the boss.
Found a bug though! In the select level menu, go all the way to the right! jump to the wall. you will hang on. Get up and jump in, and you die. Weird, huh?
How did you get to the boss? I keep on going into the door next to the blog sign. It takes me back to the menu. Do I refresh, or leave and come back, or wht?
heh, I got the boss also, it was a lot harder than the last one, and really fun
yeah. i didn’t get why i couldn’t touch him. is he some radioactive rabbit? i like the rabbit’s blog. maybe u should start the blog as a joke.
oh yeah, this is real off topic, but brad, what are u using as a wenhost?
*webhost
sorry, typo.
w00t! I beat it! I followed the link from JayIsGames. Though I know that the link had nothing to do with it.
The boss fight WAS a lot harder. I liked the little bit with the ice cream cone.
So, what’s the next project, Brad? I hope it’s as good as this!
coughsuggestionforWorld3cough It’d be cool to see an Evil Fancy Pants Man ala Dark Link/Cosmic Mario.
uh….. the reason that the cameo levels dont do anything yet is cuz there SHOULD be trophies, but there arent. I hope brad makes a better version with trophies, and it could be less buggy. If you havent submitted to newgrounds yet, dont, cuz theres to much more u need to add (there should be more crap to unlock like an awesome ending….)
o0o!!!! i thought of an awesome idea for a secret ending. If you get all trophies, and pants, and beat every cameo level, there should be an alternate with, uh, the bunny turnin giant, and a cutscene where FPM gets a pencil and fights with it. or a level where you fight with his pencil (I just remembered how a long time ago Brad Borne said something about how you’ve never seen FPM fight with his giant pencil. thought it’d be cool if WE could see it…
that. post. sounded. so. wrong.
anyways, a dark FP? sounds cool. u forgot Dark Samus.
I just noticed…where’s the options menu? how do you change pants color?
zymn…didn’t you say you were like 12-13? =P That’s probably why you took that the wrong way…=)
Also, Brad, is there a reason why you can go INSIDE one of the walls in the cave level? =P

@foodmansam
There are going to be trophies but in order to meet the deadline he had to make a note to add that in later when tweaking the game. Some of the cameo people didn’t get their trophies in on time =P
yes. i’m 13. anyone would notice the use of those words, though. and, FairlyObvious, aren’t u happy u got the most credit?
wow. this is awsome!!!
i especially loved how you let other semi-internet-famous people do artwork
nice job!!
P.S Add music sound
P.P.S Thanks for putting us in the credits :]]]]]]
yes, thanks. i’m happy. now i have some minor importance in the world.
Now you’re just making me feel bad… ¬¬

I think that also means he wasnt able to add an extras room…
It seems the extras room is missing, because the pants you’ve unlocked are stored in the .sol file of the game.
However, there is no entry for the trophies (yet?). Only for the doors to the cameo’s levels.
[Sorry Brad if I wasn't supposed to look at .sol files]
@MadecK: I think he’s still working on it…
were i make games?
plzzz say
Go to http://www.adobe.com, download the demo of CS3, go to something like http://www.flashkit.com and prepare to spend at least a year of your life learning how to make Flash that’s not terrible. If you’re serious about learning, that is.
@DrNeroCF(?): It may take more than one year… I’m too busy with programming/coding and debugging at the mo that I have no time to do other stuff I want:
learning flash
learning web design (CSS, XML etc.)
and the rest of it.
*sigh* College-life is hard…
In an attempt to see how fast the game can be completed, ignoring colors and trophies…
I got from the swing of the pencil in level 1a to the holding of the ice cream cone after killing the boss in 10 minutes, 47 seconds. Can anybody get it in under 10 minutes? I managed with 0 deaths, ran into only 1 spider, and slid down every slope I could find, so my time can’t be too horrible.
I wish a could have enjoyed the game more.
My Computer lags on that game.
Wow. When I played World 2, I had 4 heart attacks, fainted 6 times, and died. Then I was brought back to life by the amazingness of this game.
if (world2 = real) {
Brad.Borne == MYHERO;
}
I think I could make a game this good in about a gaZILLION years.
This game was awesome! Just like World One, I had a blast trying to figure it all out, especially the snail golf, which would be a great mini game with more colors…
So will there be a World 3??
If so that would be the bestest ever!!!
WOO HOOO NOW I FINISHED BOTH!!!! THANK U BRAD!!!!!
ROCK ON!
