About this game

It's Mr. Pants is a traditional grid-based puzzle game built around forming colored rectangles. Players rotate pieces in 90-degree increments and place them on the playing field, creating rectangles larger than 3x2 so they disappear.

Pieces of the same color cannot be placed on top of one another, while other colors can be layered over existing shapes to remove them. The game includes three modes:

  • Puzzle: Clear all shapes using a limited number of pieces.
  • Wipeout: Clear the field within two minutes using an unlimited supply of pieces.
  • Marathon: Continue placing and clearing shapes for as long as possible while the playfield closes in from the outside.

Developed by Rare and published by THQ, It's Mr. Pants was released on December 7, 2004, for Game Boy Advance, Gizmondo, and legacy mobile devices.
