Fly Guy is a 2002 flash game created by Trevor van Meter, an illustrator and graphic designer from Greenville, North Carolina.

Development
In an interview, van Meter said that he created Fly Guy because he felt that people with jobs wanted to escape, so he built a flash game around that idea.

Reception
Time Magazine listed Fly Guy as one of their favorite websites of 2004, calling it "A delightful bit of interactive flash" and "not a bad place to be". IndieGameReviewer.com gave Fly Guy 4 out of 5 stars, calling it an "amazing story-like odyssey" and describing the gameplay as "kind of like floating through the Beatles film Yellow Submarine while color blind. And fused with a Commodore Vic 20". The Observer's Very Short List called it " whimsical and deceptively simple".
