History VideoGame / TheFantasticGame

* ThemeTune: Jonathan Coulton's "I Feel Fantastic" is somewhat of an unofficial theme for the game, and can be heard playing in and around the Fantastic Orb's chamber

The Fantastic Game can be found here, at Fantasticaneer's Tumblr, http://fantastic-game.tumblr.com/

* BrokenRecord: The aptly named 'Smash Mouth Eggs' repeat the line "So much to do, so much to see!" from the song 'All Star'. Constantly.

* ReferenceOverdosed: The references are numerous, and surprisingly varied, such as:

* ScavengerHunt: The point of the game is to find Dollaz and open doors. To open doors, you need Dollaz, and behind doors are usually more Dollaz.
* ShapedLikeItself: In both parts of the world, you'll find a set of cubes, with the word 'CUBE' repeated against a colored background as the texture on all six sides.
* [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Successor]]/[[DuelingGames Dueling Games]]: ''VideoGame/LeFantabulousGame.'' Even at its earlier version, it left the Fantasticaneer in awe.

* PuzzlePlatformer

* StylisticSuck

* WideOpenSandbox: Sort of.

''The Fantastic Game'' is a [[{{Mindscrew}} fantastic]] game in which you explore a strange, exotic land, filled with many traps and treasures, monoliths and monsters, eggs and edifices.

* LeapOfFaith: Two, one to get from the corner of the main platform to one far away, and another is a ShoutOut to the scene from IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade, complete with sound clips.

* InTheStyleOf: The floating platform in version 1.0 has a portion of Pendulum's 'Propane Nightmares' playing there, while version 1.fun has a midi version of the song due to copyright reasons. Ostensibly, it's a cover done on an instrument called the "plungophone".

* NonStandardGameOver: There's a pit near the starting area that [[ShmuckBait tells you not to jump down it.]] Jumping down it sends you to a black room with the "GAME OVER" screen from ''Marcos Lopez: Part II'' plastered on every wall, and turns the field of view up incredibly high while playing a loop from the Evolution Control Committee's "I Want A Cookie." [[InterfaceScrew Neither of these things stop, even if you respawn.]]

** The aformentioned 'leap of faith' from IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade.
** One wall has the logo for The IncredibleCrisis on it, and falling from the ledge next to it will play Taneo's scream from that game.
** A wall in the purple maze has a picture from one of [[{{WebVideo/Vinesauce}} Vinny's]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W545DP8CmWQ streams.]]

* TheCameo: A picture of JeffGoldblum can be found in the purple maze, with a small sign next to it that says 'J. GOLDBLUM'.

* [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Successor]]/[[DuelingGames Dueling Games]]: ''VideoGame/LeFantabulousGame'' is another entry into the "egglike" genre. Even at its earlier version, it left the Fantasticaneer in awe.
