Fancypants through the town in search of the ultimate sanctuary - the golden porta-potty!\r\n\r\nIn case someone does catch mr. Fancypants in the corner and starts shaking his hand, tap the space bar to shake the person off.\r\n\r\nUse regular porta-potties to wash the germs off mr.Fancypants' hands and give him a bit of a moral and psychological boost, before he completely flips out. While in the porta-potty, use [w],[a],[s] and [d] to control the left hand and the arrow keys to control the right hand.\r\n\r\nLook for the hidden hazmat suit to get some serious protection against those pesky germ spreading peeps, but be careful - walking around town in a hazmat suit is like wearing a clown outfit at a funeral.\r\n\r\nPay attention to the bar on the top of the screen - it will show you just how deep down the spiral mr. Fancypants currently is. Get him completely covered with germs and it's lights out.\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\nJiddo, Cnap, Cem - cewd\r\ntofuman - picturz, sewnds and mewsic","title":"Germaniac"}
