3. The Fancy Pants Adventure: World 2


Close to six million plays and counting, many had considered Brad Borne's The Fancy Pants Adventure: World 2 to be the finest 2D platformer ever made. That is, until World 3 comes out...


"I gotta say, the success of the first Fancy Pants Adventure took me completely by surprise. I first started making the series because I just wasn't getting my fix of 2D platforming from the mainstream, and it looks like many gamers must have shared my sentiment.

I honestly was never content with World 1, so I started World 2 pretty soon after, but I was still in college at the time, so progress was terribly slow. Two years later I finally had a game that I felt was worthy of the attention the first game was getting, but now all I can think of is how much fun it will be to make World 3." - Brad

About The IGF


UBM TechWeb (producer of Game Developer magazine, Gamasutra.com, and the Game Developers Conference) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

The competition, now in its 13th year, awarded a total of nearly $50,000 in prizes to deserving indie creators in Main Competition and Student Competition categories at the IGF Awards Ceremony, held in March 2010 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, as one of the highlights of the Game Developers Conference.

The Independent Games Festival will return in March 2011 at GDC in San Francisco - look for more information soon. [More information...]
