Fancypants Man: better than a giant rolling gum wad!
Okay.
I swore I’d never get into any complicated type of game where you travel around and collect a neverending supply of magic thingies and have to learn all these complicated keystroke combinations just to move, not to mention get out of the way of the giant rolling gum wad or whatever it is that’s after you.
Because… to put it as simply as possible… I am an uncoordinated rube with no game talent whatsoever. Yes, yes, it’s sad, but I live with it.
And yet The Adventures of Fancypants Man game has precious little to remember so that even I—yes, MOI—can actually work it. And it’s cute. Cute art, cute music, cute little Fancypants Man.
Turn the volume down before you click if you’re supposed to be crunching some numbers at work. (Just trying to be helpful, there.) And dang, watch out for those spiders!
Otherwise you’ll end up like this:
If you go behind the “Options” door you can change the color of Fancypants’ pants. Heh! I am so easily amused.

I’ll have to go give it a try. It looks hilarious.

I just burned my son’s dinner, I was so busy playing. Thank heavens, he won’t notice: he rarely tastes food, only inhales.
BTW, how did you get that adorable picture to appear with the URL in the URL box on my browser?

Give it a try, ladies! (Unless you have a lot of stuff you have to do today!)
The boys say I have no skills whatsoever when it comes to gaming but even I can work most of the little thingyboppers. And I love the way Fancypants’ hair waves in the breeze.
Elizabeth, Here are two articles that describe the procedure:

And if you want to search for more instructions, use these search terms:

P.S. Originally I had that little clump of grass up there instead of my old mug. It’s so tiny you can’t see much, the better to hide the wrinkles.
P.S.S.
Anybody get this message in the game?

Only 20 minutes, Echilon! You are an amateur procrastinator. Practice more and maybe one day you, too, will waste hours at a time as I do.
Red pants, Stephanie! I’m going to make him wear those the next time. Don’t you love his hair?
