(serious spoiler barrage incoming)
But by the way, to those of you complaining about the price, just know that this game is worth at least two five ten a hundred times as much as a bag of chips the same price.
And also I do in fact type such long comments frequently lol
Now, I just wanted to say, never have I seen an instalment of Fancy Pants be so punishing for exploration.
(EDIT: maybe not that, but you can go a lot of unintended places and find nothing because Brad is still under the peak of fanciness potential)
Probably sounds harsh. Well I'm still missing several hats, pants and dresses, and that was after going out of bounds multiple times and finding nothing in secret areas. I went out of bounds and scaled invisible and long walls tons of times with my trusty Kitten Kabootle to hang onto the ceiling of the bottom of the map, and found nothing. Found some empty space not meant to be seen behind the spring in Level 2, too. I also went to two places in the Remix as Fancy Pants Man that were only meant for Kitten Kabootle by doing a fancy jump and slide (the Angry Penguin's lair, and the high-up purple place at the start of Level 1), and there was nothing there in the first one. In the second one, there's probably also nothing, and there was a high-up ledge only Kitten Kabootle could reach. Oh, and I was playing on a broken phone but that doesn't really matter at all.
I saw the walkthrough earlier, and it turns out you have to move a hidden pushable block in Level 2 to get to a massive hidden area filled with stuff. I think it would've just been fancier to have some fancy stunts like the ones I pulled earlier put in. I tried to deduce the logic of the secrets - basically like if players don't go there very often, it's probably a secret, but in hindsight they're all actually pretty visible. I also touched a lot of uncommon walls I thought would possibly harbour a secret, but there wasn't really anything.
Since it actually took me a long time to type this comment since I could only get here in bursts of like 2 minutes, and it's been a day (I would've finished this in up to 10 minutes), I looked for all the missing collectibles and found them. They weren't really hidden as much as I thought. But I think there are too many in Level 2 and not enough in Level 3.
Now for the part of the review where the collectibles don't matter. THIS GAME IS FANCY. I went on your website for a bit to see what's up and I found this. I was like, "oh good, we can finally play as Cutie Pants after all this time. Oh and what's up with the World 4 release close to the Flash breakdown?" So I got all the Cutie Chronicles and finally started playing as her. I saw I couldn't play the Remix, but I was like, "oh, well, this is something we've wanted to do for years, and now we can, so we shouldn't complain." I expected the icon to be a dress but whatever. Eventually I found a colour, and I was like, "oh, neat." Then I beat the Angry Penguin, and I saw the Remix was unlocked, so that was new, and then I found out she also had dress patterns and bonus areas dedicated to her kitten, so I was like "oh wow". Couldn't pick anything up as her (like hats or weapons) but if she eventually gets one, it should probably be like the thing she was holding in World 3. Also I don't know why the down button is visible if it doesn't do anything. Well I mean it probably lets her wall-jump down, but that's it.
And now for some quick observations that were already self-resolved because I was kinda paranoid (although I just came to edit this comment after I saw he did an update in 2021, so he's fine. Just ignore this yabbering).
I don't really know what's going on, but I saw his site and his YouTube channel and his Twitter account, and he hasn't uploaded anything since March this year. Started to think he might've died or something. So that's probably not good. Just went on Discord to check things, and DrNeroCF last said something on 11/9/2020, and he was last mentioned last month, so he's probably doing alright. So yeah.
EDIT: I also got to the area exclusive to Fancy Pants Man (the one with the bowling ball) with Cutie Pants by exploiting a glitch based on the rat's relentlessness and her affection where she rides on the spider near the ink bag while the rat shoots him, which will make them spin away, and launch them upward if Cutie Pants changes or influences the direction. Here's some screenshots if you're interested
also in this new edit: I recently played World 4 Part 2 and managed to get back on the top of the hill at the first level (by slowing my fall in midair with an upward pencil swing), and the game got bugs from not having a previous level
so yeah, my pants are pretty fancy
