The Fancy Pants Adventures: World 1

The Fancy Pants Adventures: World 1 (short name fancypworld1) is a classic Flash browser side-scrolling platform action game created by Brad Borne and published by Armor Games, released in March 2006. It is the first title of the Fancy Pants series. Players control Fancy Pants Man, a stick figure with orange fancy pants. Dash through sketch hand-drawn levels, build momentum on slopes and perform moves including sliding, rolling, backflips and wall jumps. Explore forests and caves, collect squiggles scattered across maps for bonus score, stomp spiders and other enemies, seek out secret rooms and defeat the final boss. The game stands out for its silky smooth physics movement and hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation. Controlled by arrow keys and S key, it features fast-paced gameplay and speedrun potential. It is one of the most famous stickman platform games of the Flash era, later remastered and ported to game consoles.

These games get the keyboard directly — the controls are whatever the game itself defines, usually in its own help or options screen. Some games show on-screen buttons on phones.
