Though progress is always equated to moving ahead, some experiences can always pull enthusiasts back into time. While the 3D fervor has been gripping every other person in tech and gaming realms, here’s a character reviving the world of two dimensions. EA and Borne Games have unleashed The Fancy Pants Adventures on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
The whimsical and side-scrolling platformer brings the era of flash-based games enclosed in its distinctive art and style. In the game, players can step into the shoes of the Fancy Pants Man to rescue his kidnapped sister named Cutie Pants. For those who are wondering about the logic as to what made the developers moniker it so, the hand-drawn stick figure of the lead character flaunts orange-colored pants.
Flagging off the narrative in Squiggleville, the game has been composed with over 20 unique open levels. Engulfed with dynamic challenges and bonus rooms, it enables gamers to indulge in combat with comical enemies and face off-beat obstacles. As players traverse through this world, they can make the most from over 140 distinct customization options before crushing the Pirates.
To infuse vigor into the title, the developers have introduced co-op gameplay for facilitating aficionados set out on this quest with about three other players. In this mode, gamers can slide, roll and jump together or immerse in a duel against each other via competive play. It has been revealed that both the local and online multiplayer modes boast of Co-op Story, Races, King of the Hill and Tournaments.
Developed by Over the Top Games in collaboration with Borne Games and EA 2D, The Fancy Pants Adventure is now out for 6.99 GBP (approx. Rs. 510) and 800 Microsoft Points on the PSN and XBLA, respectively.
