    Every last pixel of Fancy Pants feels as though it's dedicated to making its platforming as smooth and flawless as possible; simply running around is a joy, let alone completing the game or taking on its many unlockable challenges, modes and side-objectives. A must-have iPhone title.

    Co-developed by Borne Games and Over The Top Games, Fancy Pants features fluid animations, a terrific graphic style, and charm to spare.

    This doodle platformer takes familiar conventions and makes them feel "fancy" again.

    Ultimately, The Fancy Pants Adventures is a chill, stylish platformer that is both fulfilling and satisfying... when its touch controls aren't giving you the business. If you can get over that really, really, really obstinate roadblock, you'll be just dandy.

    Fancy Pants for iOS is a great platformer, with gorgeous animations and a lot of extra contents. Unfortunately the combat and exploration elements slow down the rhythm, feeling particularly out of place.

    If you've never played The Fancy Pants Adventures before then iOS isn't a bad place to jump aboard. The entertaining story and abundance of bonus challenges will keep you entertained for quite a while, and the game has style to spare. However, those who have already been on this adventure have no real reason to revisit it due to a lack of new content and gameplay mechanics that still don't feel quite right.

    Fancy Pants is a solid platformer with a ton of content. The number of items to collect each level will surely keep players occupied for hours. The speed is a little to fast, but besides that the game is really well designed.

    Far from revolutionary, Fancy Pants is an interesting, slightly muddled game that still manages to have moments of high-speed brilliance.

    The game uses left and right arrows for movement that sit in the lower left corner of the screen and another arrow for jumping in the lower right. For a game built on high-speed runs and well-timed jumps it's a deal-breaker.
