The Pang series is a beloved collection of arcade video games from the early 90s. Guide two brothers on a quest around the world to save humankind from a massive alien invasion!
The game faithfully recreates the core arcade gameplay of the original Pang (known as Buster Bros. in North America) from the early 1990s. Players control one or two brothers who must use a grappling hook to pop the bouncing "attack balls" descending from the top of the screen. This classic arcade shooter gameplay, with its challenging patterns and precise timing required to burst the balls, captures the same addictive, high-score chasing experience that made the original a beloved cult classic.
Beyond the classic arcade mode, the game offers a variety of new gameplay experiences. The Tour Mode takes players on a globe-trotting adventure to save the world from an alien invasion, featuring over 100 levels with boss fights and new mechanics gradually introduced. The Panic Mode presents an endless, high-score focused experience where the ball patterns become increasingly frantic over time. The Score Attack mode ramps up the difficulty even further by limiting players to only three lives. These additional modes expand upon the core arcade action, providing more longevity and replayability.
One of the game's standout features is its seamless local and online cooperative multiplayer. Players can team up with a friend to tackle the game's challenges together, coordinating their grappling hook usage and ball-bursting strategies. This cooperative mode perfectly captures the social, arcade-style fun of the original, allowing players to share the classic Pang experience with others.
While honoring the retro roots of the Pang series, the game features a visually striking, high-definition presentation. The vibrant, colorful sprites and environments deliver a fresh, polished look that complements the classic gameplay. The soundtrack also blends chiptune melodies with more modern orchestral arrangements, further enhancing the nostalgic-yet-contemporary feel of the experience.
