Fancy Pants World 2
If you liked the original Fancy Pants Adventure World One, you’re going to LOVE Fancy Pants Adventure World 2. Brad Borne is a flash game genius!
There are a handful of games that really sucked me into their world, the old original Infocom text adventure games, especially the first, Zork, a text adventure game called “World”. The first graphical game that did this was Super Mario World 64 for the Nintendo-64, and then the Turok series which were available for multiple platforms but I played them on the Nintendo-64.
Rainbow Chaser
 |
Rainbow Chaser is a Korean memory practice game similar in some ways to the Simon game. As with Simon, you are presented with a sequence of colors that you have to remember and repeat. However, unlike Simon there are seven colors, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet, instead of just four. Also, unlike Simon the colors aren’t in fixed locations so you not only have to remember what order the colors were displayed in but where. |

There are three buttons on the opening screen. The left most button takes you to Pure Pulses website. The second button gives you a demonstration of how to play the game. The third takes you directly to game play.
Tempt Fate
This is a simple shoot at attacking enemies type space game where you defend the Earth from attacking enemies. What makes it different than others similar games is that you can change the characteristics of the enemies. All in all there really isn’t enough in this game to keep most people interested for long, it’s pretty much just a twitch finger exercise. Fire
The object of this game is simply to bring warmth and light into the lives of as many people as possible, and what better way than by setting them on fire? Avoiding rain from the occasional black clouds overhead as they cool your flames and you shrink into nothingness. I think the author totally missed the boat with respect to the music; a much better theme would have been a song by the Dead Milkmen, If you love somebody set them on fire. Fancy Pants Adventure
Fancy Pants Adventure is a Brad Borne game. It has a minimalist almost stick drawing style, yet, conveys movement and action in a way that feels very natural. The animation is excellent. Fancy pants scrolls horizontally and vertically, and there is a great deal of freedom of movement within the game. It’s easy to quickly get into the game and feel like you’re Fancy Pants. |
