Flash games are supposed to be janky. That's what hindsight tells me, anyway, even if it's at odds with my fuzzy childhood nostalgia. By that metric this remaster of one of my childhood staples, which arrived on Steam in February, truly isn't a Flash game. Moments into Fancy Pants Adventures: Classic Pack's first level, I was gliding on oil slicks and executing sweet, zig-zag wall jumps with snappy platforming controls. Sleek animations, tight physics, an utter absence of sophomoric shock humor; a rare, complete victory for fuzzy childhood nostalgia.
Under the surface, though, it's a bit of a nightmare.
