Quite a good game, really fun,but Fancypants has a lack of control. And after attaining the pencil,doing a twirl and killing the enemies around you makes you lose control and spin until refreshed. (Plus you won't do any damage even).

Not sure what you're referring to... that FPM doesn't have that much control while spinning, or is the game bugging out and you have to refresh the page?
Ho-ly cow. It's finally back in all its pants-tastic glory! It's been a while, but this was worth the wait. I love virtually everything about this. The upbeat sound effects, the well matched music, the variety of challenge, it's just beautiful. I particularly liked how every challenge room was something different. (I was worried that they'd all be that 'high score' thing in the demo, which I didn't particularly like.)
I really loved the new controls, and using the weapon was quite fun. However, the methods of using jabs and strong attacks didn't quite sit right with me. Holding still and pressing A to jab, pushing left or right and pressing A to slash, and pressing and holding A to do some kind of different charge attack would have felt a lot smoother.
However, the game is not without its faults. Some of the random items bewildered me at first. I collected some stars, but I still have no idea what purpose they serve; and the microtrials, while fun, seem equally pointless. Not that everything needs to be explained, but having something other than a little jingle occur when we complete those tasks might be nice.
I also noticed this very weird spot in the beach level. There appeared to be a straw in the wall, and a rather puzzling sign nearby. I tried messing around near it, but nothing seemed to happen. It was probably just decoration, but it looked like it might have some secret.
The only part I actively disliked was the end. When I struck the final hit on the last boss, I bounced back a bit and didn't see him die. That wouldn't matter as much, except I got dumped into the final cutscene before I even realized anything had happened. That cutscene was particularly disappointing Fancypants picks up X then suddenly I'm at the level select. In a game whose greatest strength is the perfect way it flows, a jarring ending like that really damages the whole experience.
Lastly, there were some technical issues. No matter what happened, I never took damage or died. I'm not complaining, but since there's a health bar I assume something went wrong there. Also, this might be nothing, but when I used the airborne spin attack it seemed like Fancypants shrank just a little bit.
Still though, none of what I mentioned drops my general rating below a 10, and just assumed that anything I didn't bring up was absolutely perfect.
Great game. It always reminds me of Jazz Jackrabbit, especially the buildings. :)
Great game overall! Found alittle bug though: when you kick the shooting mouse in the shot of another mouse, the shot will freeze mid-air. If you jump inside the shot then, you won't get out again.

Ah, okay, that's the best anyone's described that yet, I think I know what's going on there...
The game wont load :'(
But I wanna play it so bad !
What could be the problem ?
DrNeroCF responds:
Hit refresh a few times, or just let it load, sometimes the progress bar doesn't work correctly. Sorry about that, hope you're able to play soon!
