Firsties!

Okay now that I got that out of the way, I’m super excited for this. I remember playing FPA on Newgrounds and thinking how perfect it felt and how it should have been a XBLA game instead of a niche flash game. “Be Fancy!” and pick this game up to support one of the best flash games of all time.

Looks interesting, I never played the flash version so I’ll check out the demo and then decide if I want the full version

Sorry, but I’m not paying $10 for a stick figure Flash game. I don’t care how good the gameplay is.

Castle Crashers, Trials HD, and Super Meat Boy were once flash games. Now they are some of the top XBLA games around.

I was mostly weighting the stick figure aspect in my opinion.

So because the protagonists are stick figures automatically makes the game cheap? Maybe try the trial first. I know I was surprised at how much more polished it was compared to the online version, and I can see how much fun the co-op and vs multiplayer can be.

You don’t know what fun is. And Fancy Pants Adventures is a fun, fun game. And is EASILY worth 800msp. Some games that are that much suck, but this game rocks.

However, I do agree on the flash aspect, but still, you can’t put a price on playing a fun new redesigned game on a giant HDTV versus playing an old flash game on a small computer monitor. And that’s all I gots to say about that.

Right, because stick figures are so much better in HD.

Played both flash version and hence I’m satisfied. Would be a good indie game but no way I’ll spend 10$ on something I can play for free on any computer, not to mention that games taht offer way, way more cost less (Foretress craft) or are just taht much better value (Section 8).
Still, if I hadn’t tried it before or felt like spending, it would be worth buying.

btw. Didn’t buy trials (played the original). same thing with angry birds/castle crushers, super meat boy/N game, castle crushers etc.
If they added a lot of new content/feature sthat I wanted I might have bought it, but not a more or less straight port from PC. And not at 10$, that’s just way to much…
