Now available on iOS for your iPhone or iPad is the hit platformer game with the fanciest of pants, The Fancy Pants Adventure. This game is also called by most as just Fancy Pants.

Graphics

One of the first things that most people will notice as soon as they start to play Fancy Pants is the graphics of this game. It is almost as if a child has drawn the world of Fancy Pants and you take control of a stick man with fancy looking pants who has been drawn by a child. Now, this is not a bad thing. The game looks great for the art style that the developers have used. As far as most mobile games go, this is one of the more unique and colorful games that you could play on-the-go. One thing that must be mentioned is the difference between the iPhone version and the iPad version of the game when it comes to the graphics. The iPhone version of the game doesn't look anywhere near as sharp as the iPad version. So, iPeople should keep that in mind.

Issues with virtual buttons

The way that Fancy Pants plays can be hard and discouraging for some players. The game relies on the use of virtual buttons, with the buttons on the left side of the screen controlling the direction that Mr. Pants moves and the virtual buttons on the right side controlling Mr. Pants’ actions like jumping. On the iPhone, the game can be a real mess to try to play as the screen is so small and the fingers of the players can get in the way of seeing what is going on. On the iPad version, the screen is bigger and allows for a more natural use of the virtual buttons. Virtual buttons are a hit and miss for most people as there is no tactile feedback. It is easy to miss a jump because your fingertips moved off the virtual button and you are pressing a dead space on the screen. Some players may find this to be a real problem as the game is all about speed and timing the jumps. Other players may have no problem with this control scheme at all and have no difficulties controlling Mr. Pants. Regardless of the limitations that this game has been placed under because of the mobile devices, it is still a fun game to play.

The Price

There is a lot of content in a little package when it comes to Fancy Pants. There are many unlockable costumes and other such items which players can use to make their own Mr. Pants unique. Trying to collect all the content that a player can will take several hours of gameplay, making the game well worth the asking price of $.99 on the Apple App Store. In short, Fancy Pants is a well-made game for just about anyone to enjoy.
