  I feel like it retains the spirit of the game I once knew. Now if only someone would bust some bubbles with me.. edit: As a note, if you plan to play multiplayer.. Online Tour Mode is locked which forces both players to finish Tour Mode alone just to play it again together. The only online mode available at the start with is Panic Mode. Kind of a bummer.

  A refreshing version of Pang. I'm a very big fan of Pang series, I played Pang at the arcades and on my home SNES console and I must admit that, although I was a bit sceptic, that this turned out very good. I really captures the spirit of Pang, the sound and graphics are pretty nice but I came up with flaws that ruined the gaming experience for me. The smallest baloons are still too big which hinders small manouvers and that "saved by hairlenght" factor. Although there are some good levels, the level design might be better. There are very few levels with ladders (as opposed to previous pang iterations) and this is really shame as the level design tends to be a bit boring and unbalanced - you come a cross a very hard level only to be followed by three or four easy levels in a row. The devs included a bunch of weapons that I find a bit overkill and sometimes even useless, on the other hand, dyinamites are used very seldomly. I wish there was a "retro mode" which would give you only the basic weapons like one spear, double spear, grapling hook and the minigun. Controls are tight and get the job done although I couldn't get my home-made arcade stick to work as it wasnt' recognized. I think the devs should fix that as soon as possible. I hate to use Joy2key to get the job done and this is, in my honest opinion the biggest flaw. But I think it can be easily fixed in the next update. After all, the game is very fun to play and it offers multiplayer which I sadly did not managed to play as I figured there are still very few players actually playing this game. But adding people to steam friends that own the game gets the job done , as the game supports friend invite. I will give this game a Yes because it's a very unique game and offers tons of fun , especially in co-op.

  There's only one thing I really miss : It's the way the cables weren't straight but all squiggly in the original game. I played Adventures for 30 minutes with a nagging feeling that something was wrong, and that was it. Other than that, I've got nothing but praises. Grabbed a controller, gave the second one to my brother who was visiting that day, and suddenly we were kids again back in my old bedroom playing on my Amiga 500. 12/10, would nostalgia again.

  Loved the original PANG! games to bits and this one doesn't disappoint either. One thing I miss: The original sound the balloons made when you hit them. POP!

  Pang with a fresh coat of paint, can't go wrong with that. The game doles out new gameplay mechanics at a regular interval to keep things fresh, which also serves to improve your overall bubble bursting techniques. Your newfound prowess can then be put to good use grabbing high scores across previous stages. Very happy to see products like this being developed and strongly encourage anyone else that wants to ride a wave of nostalgia (as long as you aren't a staunch purist) to throw money at this.

  It's Pang just as you remember it on the arcade machine or the Atari but you can play across the Internet with a friend on Steam or plug in a controller and play two on the same PC. Modernised with full controller support. 9/10

  The original game in North America was known as Buster Bros. That game and Super Buster Brothers were both released as arcade cabinents games in North America. This game consists of set stages in which you "pop" flying bubbles around a small level. This game is quite fun to play, especially if you have a 2p co-op partner (if you can find one that is..). Local Co-op is also found in the game if you have 2 people in your house... The game is quite short if you beat it all the way through. This is not a long game, but it is quite challenging. This game is not easy, but can be conquered easier with 2 players. NOTE: There are issues with 2 controllers for this game..Be aware of this. I recommend this fun arcade game to my friends and others. Have fun playing it!

  [h1]79 / 100[/h1] [h1]Did Pang Adventures burst my nostalgia bubble?[/h1] I used to be pretty good at the original game back in the day [b]:)[/b] At the time it was rather unique, a bit of a twist of Space Invaders with some ricocheting 'bubble' madness that offered a suprisingly good challenge. My friends and I sunk a lot of fun-filled hours into it on my Amiga 500 [i](ahh.. the memories)[/i]. Fast forward almost 30 years [i](and a few sequels later)[/i] the latest incarnation, [b]Pang Adventures[/b] has set my nostalgia meter running. Core mechanics remain essentially the same as they were, but there are a few more modes, ball effects, weapons & boss fights to spice things up. It does 'kinda' feel as I remember. Sound effects, music & graphics do work well to rekindle that retro feeling & it still has that balancing act between firing your grapple or dodging, & the timing & calculating ahead to pop the bouncing bubbles as efficiently [i](& as quickly)[/i] as you can. A good test of your coordination skills. I can't say it's as engaging or replayable as my childhood remembers though, but there is enough content for a few good hours or more to clock the Tour mode, plus a bit more with multiplayer, Score & Panic modes. Tour mode becomes very challenging [i](almost puzzle like)[/i] in later levels, often pushing you to the last second even after multiple attempts, but my favorite mode would have to be the Panic mode. It cuts out all the [i]'Save the World'[/i] story BS & gets you straight into the action in increasingly difficult challenges. The 99 levels are structured in waves, providing an almost constant stream of attack balls to pop. It gets hard! To add to the [i]ahem[/i] panic, this mode also gets increasingly faster. This works really well, making the game play more fluid & frantic! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=827876672 Score mode is locked behind Tour mode completion, but offers the added hardcore challenge of only three lives. I've try tried to find a multiplayer game on several occasions but have not been success to date. It can be played with friends in local coop though if you want to kick it old school [i](although I havent tried that myself)[/i]. So to answer the question, did [b]Pang Adventures[/b] burst my nostalgia bubble? [b]No, not at all![/b] It strikes the delicate balance of being close enough to the original concept to be familiar, but also fresh enough bringing a new lick of paint, modes & other enhancements to the table. A quality remake that doesn't compromise the Pang legacy.

  This game is sadly enough not a patch on the original series. The dreadful art style and less than optimal gameplay really hurt the fun, especially when coupled with the 'story' segments. I used to love the SNES game I owned, but this one is fit for the dusters.

  Let's be honest, nostalgia sells this - most of the people who bought this remember the game from back in the days. Unfortunately the retro aesthetic is ruined by these "new modern HD sprites". Kinda like DuckTales! The gameplay is okay though with some [i]slight[/i] annoyance. 8/10
