Here!
Well, most of it, at least. The public beta is live! Play through the entire game and help me get World 3 ready for its full release.
A few menus and such still need to be added later, but World 3’s been in development for long enough, amirite??
Oh, and like always, let me know what’s broken.
Fixed so far:
0.16
– Changed how the challenge scores work, which should fix the Beach (no idea why it was like that, thought I already fixed it).
– Bottle was missing from Misplaced.
– Fixed the pants menu.
– Adjusted the reset controls button in the menus.
0.15
– Biggest change is the pants color selector from the pause menu
– Option to reset controls from the main menu, in case something goes wrong (and I forgot that the game’s background is white, not grey, whoops)
– There was an extra star or something in Misplaced? Weird.
– Fixed Bat Spider’s congrats
– NPCs now only change your pants automatically the first time they congratulate you after beating their challenge.
0.14:
– Ducks and Parrots fixed
– Music overlapping fixed
0.12:
– Manly Beard fixed
– Music tweaks
– ‘quick sounds’ fixed (swimming, sand and puddle footsteps)
– rest of the dialog fixed (fingers crossed)
– Attacking ‘beard shockwaves’
0.11:
– Factory and Cave Plats fixed
– I broke some controls earlier, fixed them
– NPCs change your pants color after victory message
– Moved Mountain Goat Course finish line
0.10:
– Falling off the level while rolling
– Sliding into crabs
– Quitting from Beach scoreboard glitch
– Bumper tweaks
0.9:
– Beach fix
– QTP on throne fix
– Beta is now certified beatable!
0.8:
– Bunch of fixes, I’ll list them later
– I did break progressing passed the beach, though, and Mochi’s not letting me upload a new build, I’ll have to upload tomorrow. Hopefully, most of you can just skip it for now.
0.7:
– Beach sand effects
– All moving platforms
– Bottles pop up message
– Forest background
– Baddie pile and dialoge
– HUD during pirate ship
– Places where you could jump out the level (sorry, heh)
– Yellow key room
– Disco effects
– All far foreground animations (tub drain, getting pencil, a few others).
– Rainbowbeard’s text size
– Tub music fade in repeat
I’m sure I’ve missed something, check the build and let me know, just make sure that 0.7 is showing in the top right at the first menu screen, otherwise clear your cache and refresh the page.
The “Return to Squigleville” door is still there in misplaced cave.
Why don’t you just put the full swf on your site instead of waiting for Mochi?
You can change it back tomorrow.
I agree with this. Plus, then us loyal beta testers could download the swf and play the game offline. =D
So nice of you guys ๐
The second time you get to Cutie Pants in her lair (when you get back after the floor opens in on you)
Its literally Ninsplosion! The ninjas never stop coming. I was in the air with the pencil with over 600 hits on ninjas (you know where it says the number with the ! when you are in the air and you havent fallen)
๐ I WANT TO FINISH THE BETA!!! ๐
Ugh, still a few entries missing from the text bubble clip. Going to actually play through the entire thing this time to make sure it works ๐
Okay Brad, I am not sure if it is my computer’s problem or something, but the gameplay is rather laggy. Well, all my cache are cleared and my Google Chrome is the latest version too, so I am not sure whether it is because my computer is crap or the game file is rather large, or because the swf is loaded via over a network, thus results in slow gameplay as they try to load the map. :/
But overall, I have to say I am greatly impressed at how large the levels are with a numerous number of places to explore. It certainly is a place one can get lost in.
Looking out for bugs now though. I may compile a list if I have the time, but no promises made yet!;)
The music doesn’t play in the Beta! Is that normal?
Works now! I had to clear my cache… ๐
I’m just curious, has anyone gotten past the explosion of ninjas the second time to cutie pants, or furthermore beaten the game?
No, I just have some epic screenshots.
It’s impossible to beat that! There isn’t even a way to beat it…
The door to leave the red key room won’t work, and I’ve tried a few times.
@ ICARAX same, and I have a screenshot of me getting my 127th bounce. It’s a glitch, because in the console game that is when you face the new bearded pirate again/the boss level.
hey brad can you fix the boss battle because the ninja keep on comeing nonstop
Hullo brad, ur games are awesome especialy the new fancy pants adventures 3.
but i have a little problem:
in the beach level when i go to the end of the level to finish it i get stuck in the sand, please fix this bug, and if u can make a downloadable fancy pants 3 on pc it would be awesome, and thank u.
Kindly waiting for a new update and reply

3(‘-‘)3
3 3 >(‘-‘)> , , <('-')< , ^('-')^ kirby dance lol
I now demand fancy dance!
Yeah, should be fixed soon :/
Wow.. suddenly a lot of newcomers appeared.. XD
We’re the people who have been watching but just didn’t comment. now there’s a beta, so our comments are helpful.
RainbowBeard is broken.
How? I beat him before uploading. Which build are you playing?
I was playing 0.9. To check let me try again.
YEP HE IS STILL BROKEN
Works fine for me, what’s happening? :/
You sure that .11 is loading?
Brad! I did complete the game! I saved Cutie Pants Girl. Woohoo! That was the most amazing flash game I EVER PLAYED!
now the pencil is more useful in the game specially the boss fight
and is it me or did fancy pants man got a little faster.
I took out the replay code, that cuts down on the input lag a bit.
Though, for some reason, the game running at 30 fps makes FPM feel a little faster than 60 fps. Tis strange.
Who’s up for some FPA on Xbox 360 tonight?
I am! ๐
I’ll be on in a few minutes.
how do i change pants back to orange?
Eh, can’t right now, need to add something to the pause menu for all the pants, pressing down was a quick fix.
I tried to beat Manly Beard. But then he just kept doing that ”flying” thing and I couldn’t beat him. Maybe Im not playing the latest build I don’t know.
Same happens to me…
Here is how to kill him:
Jump on him three times then when he comes back down after the three hits, Charge up the pencil and Attack!!!(Difficult) ๐
Or you can wait until he throws his beard at you and while he’s stunned hit him with the pencil.
Great Open Beta Brad! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do! ๐
Glitch alert! if you attack the pirates beard wave with the pencil, it glitches in place and doesn’t go away.
What a strange glitch, good catch. Maybe you should try hitting it again in the next build ๐
i cant beat manly beard he keeps jumping up as soon as he lands
Hey Brad, i finally got flash CS5. Do you still accept badies? for that room, you know, Pleeeeeaaaaaasee? <:)
I think that manlybeard is unbeatable right now. after you jump on him three times you can’t touch him. when he comes down with the beard-waves, i can avoid them by jumping, but then the pencil does nothing. I also noticed the he is not standing on the “floor” he seems to be a little higher than fancy pants.
Ahhh, I see what’s happening, jumping on Manly Beard doesn’t advance his boss level. If you attack him with the pencil while he’s stunned, things will go normally. Should be fixed in the next build, though.
Beated!
Glitch report: I jumped on a frog while it was in mi-air. It fromze and just stays in mid-air.
Hm, not sure I can stop that from always happening, but I can put a better protection on it…
Umm, Brad, Fancy Pants Man seems to be invincible…
I keep getting hit by Captain Manly Beard and his ninjas but I take no damage.
And Captain Manly Beard has unlimited health D:
Yeah, I’ve been having that too. FPM has gotten stabbed by a lot of ninjas, but they haven’t decreased his health at all.
This happen often? Is there anything specific that you can do to make it happen?
Another glitch I found: With a few of the baddies (for me it happened with a ninja and a frog) sometimes if you jump on them they freeze in the air and become part of the background.
I remember that was a glitch in one of the sneak peeks or behind the curtain!
That happened with the snailshell in the Demo.
yes. ๐
OH in the last level on the last beach, you can jump into the air, holding your pencil, and go into the water with the pencil until you hit the ground, and you can attack until you hit the ground. I dont know if that made sense,
but basically saying, the pencil can go in water!!
2 Glitch Reports:
1.When on the beach level(when u go to the guys that say dude a lot)u are going up the two hills along the way to them, then if u jump into a puddle, the game will freeze :(.
2.On island express/forgotten island, on the part when u are on the green moving platforms, if u backflip on the one where it is going up and down, u will go through the moving platform and respawn back on the island.
I am not to good at explaining things :(.
Just 3 more comments, Brad…
Hey u know Wat would be cool? If even the flash version of world 3 was added to the fancy pants app. Just so it’d be complete u know?
There’s only a few things in World 3 that aren’t in the app. Going to try to update the app with some new levels, though.
Really? That’s awesome! Can’t wait to see how that goes!
LOL, NO MORE COMMENTS! ๐
Hey this is the first time 200 has been hit in a while…
200s the limit?
I guess not
PANTS IS THE LIMIT
THERE IS NO LIMIT
Except for the limit, of course.
The mountain goat finish line says start on it. You should also put the time down to make it harder.
Glitch: I went into the beta and I had black pants and pencil. You should put a replay code in the beta.
A replay code isn’t going to show me why your pants are black ๐
It is great to try beta!
And when is real world3 coming?Really i am looking for it!
… and will it be out on Armor Games?
I’m not sure, actually. It won’t be Armor Games branded (since we’re using it to sell the premium FPA games, but I hope that Dan will allow it on the site as is anyway. I’ll have to ask him some time…
Yes, put it on Armor Games, It’s the best!
Not only Armorgames,dont forget Newgrounds too.
(I am member at both of them)
Just tested the demo, and I really liked it, even though it was really glitchy
What I liked about the beta:
I love the new artwork you did for all of the locations, it fits the music better, and when the camera is zoomed this much in, you can easily see the doodle-ish animations. These same animations mostly looked just fluid and not too special at the consol-version because of how much the camera was zoomed out.
I also like the new sounds and animations you have putted in, and makes the game interesting to play, some of them a bit laggy, but can probably easily be fixed ๐
The new hidden locations are also awesome! ๐
What needs to be improved:
You definitely need to add sounds for most of the moves you do in the game, and not just a few of them. One sound for running, wall jumping and so on. This will make the game much more satisfying to play, and without them you kinda feel there is something missing.
It was also very glitchy, I was planning to complete the whole beta before posting this, but just couldn’t because that stupid parrot in the yellow-key-room would just not die, and instead glitch into the backround.
Some soundtracks also started to play on top of each other, for example after retrieving the pencil and exiting the room, two of the pirate soundtracks started to play at the same time.
I hope you will fix the main menu, what I just saw in the beta was probably and hopefully not the final version of the main menu, since it definitely needs more textures and platforms and stuff, so I am looking forward to see the final version ๐
And last, are the multicolored pants added in this game, just like world 2? Sinc that was probably one of my favourite parts of world 2, made me keep playing after finishing the game. I saw the stars were still there from the console version, but it kept annoying me that there was no tracking of how many stars I had in total.
And yeah, long time no see people, if you still remeber me! ๐
(God this comment is VERY long…)
Hey! REMEMBER ME?? How have ya been?
You can keep track sort of, of your stars, just pause the level and it will show you the current level and the stars you have from it, and you can look at the other levels from there and see what you are missing. And you can add it up if you want a “total track”
๐
Of course I do! ๐ I’m fine, been busy with school, improving my art and stuff, and you?
Gah, I always forget there is a pause menu in most flash games, since I never use them… Most of the time I complete flash games I play before I even get a chance to see the pause menu, so I never really think about pausing at all xD
Yeah, same but I was doing something for my sister, so I had to pause,and I figured it out.
I’ve recently been busy with school.. I take advanced math, and advanced Spanish, so that work is getting real hard as well lately, I am so sleep deprived. I had to work on my math while I was waiting at guitar!!
Ugh. Chemistry is next year… I can’t wait…
So many hard classes I have to take! ๐ and I’m only 14!why?
@ Brad,can you add a pants changing button or room?Because if we want do take the colour from previous challange,we have to go there again.(and I usually forget where they are)
Hey, it’s still a beta!
Also, why do you have to do the challenges again? Just open the pause menu and use the left and right arrow keys to select a level!
Played through the game a bit more and found two more glitches:
– The trees in the backround right before you enter Bummin’ It Beach abruptly ends, which looks really strange
– I’m not sure if this is a glitch or not since I havn’t found all of the bonuses yet, but when I finished the snail golf course by the bat-spider, I didn’t recieve any new pants like I usually do when I complete challenges. I think it happened because I exited the room through the door instead of pressing the jump-button as I was told to, so because of that I tried to do the course over again and then press the jump button in the end, but I still didn’t recieve any new pants…
If it is a glitch, I hope you can fix it!
Might I have found a glitch? I played part of bummin’ it beach earlier finding the two “dudes” who want me to crush the sand castles. after this I had to stop playing for a bit.
When I came back to the game (after I closed my browser) it kept the 8 sand castles I had already crushed so I went to find the other 2 without bothering to go down to the 2 dudes. I was able to find them and saw it say 10/10 but I never got any new pants! I tried going back to the dudes but just got the scene of them asking for help.
That must be a glitch because that happened to me too!! ๐
BRAD, I LOST ALL MY DATA AND PANTS!!!!!!!!!
IS it a glitch or what cause i got NOTHING! ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
EDIT:IT HAPPENED when 0.13 came out… p.s u haven’t told us what it does anyway……………
Some more glitch’s I found,
I can confirm what somebody else posted about the misplaced caves snailshell challenge not completing properly. I waited for the pop up that says completed and pressed jump, exited the room to see the challenge messsage from the bat-spider. Tried it twice.
Also, I got the 2nd star (I believe it’s the 2nd) in misplaced caves, the one on the right side of the level on a ledge under a ramp. (I continued playing not thinking to pause and check my progress) then I got I think the 1st one, the one high above the area where you start, somewhere near the time trial spring area. I thought to pause and check my progress but found only the 1st star icon lit up. I was able to get the 3rd star and have it light up properly, but the 2nd star never showed up in my pause menu or back at where you pick it up.
Hey Brad! It’s looking great so far. However, I have found some bugs:
1. The aforementioned beach pants bug
2. In the pants menu, there are a pair of black pants for the Royal Tub, but the tub doesn’t have any pants in it
3. The aforementioned Misplaced Caves star bug
4. When you enter the Royal Tub from the house, the music doesn’t play
Oh, and two more things:
1. The Royal Tub pants are actually there because the disco pants are missing from the list
2. In the baddie rooms, it says “1 baddies left” when you only have one left instead of “1 baddie left”
Found one more glitch
If you jump on the micro trial spring laucher twice, the music stops!
There are some pants missing from the menu.
The white and the yellow..
I mean, the white was awesome. Now I can’t put it back. ๐
btw, I can’t find the last star in the Pirate Princess Ship..
And if you hit that beard wave with the pencil, it freezes..
The last star isn’t actually in the ship ๐
Yeah, that’s what happens when I upload builds late at night, I was all, ‘gotta skip the tub level to get the pants right’ up until I actually arranged them, whoops.
The beard wave still freezes? Really? Thought I fixed that. I’ll have to check on it again, bah.
It didnt freeze for me..
0.16 being uploaded now to fix the pants menu.
Strange, when the BatSpider guy in misplaced caves told me I was a hero, the text above the door showing my high score blinked and now it is backwards… this happen to anyone else?
Happened to me.
Grr, maybe I fixed that in the normal and not the bonus door, hmm…
The bottle in misplaced caves isn’t working for me… :C
Brad, at Island Express, when you are falling down through the treetops, if you hold down “A” and then release it, you can easily get out of the level and fall to your death.. O.O
You can also see the end of the background..
Yeah I did that to. I forgot to mention it though.
Hm, I didn’t even think about that. Forgot that you can still get out of a fall by attacking. I’ll just a have to put some walls in there or something, heh.
its very slow and laggy :/ every frame is very slow. and something thats been in a lot of your games, when i open a door, (by pressing up) the browser moves up, as if im browsing, and im not playing the game, i still play it but, it acts like im not ๐ฎ (sorry if i was being kind of repetitive)
Go to foxfire or opera their better on games. I use foxfire and opera but mostly I use google chrome for everything except for games because its slow
both issues were fixed when i switched to firefox, thanks for this awesome series brad!
