Pang

The game uses single-screen stages viewed from the side. Players run, jump, and fire harpoons upward to split large balloons into smaller ones until every fragment is cleared. Platforms, walls, and narrow spaces affect balloon trajectories and player safety. Power-ups can improve firing speed or attack patterns. In two-player mode, teamwork becomes important as later stages add faster balloons, tighter layouts, and heavier screen pressure.

Buster Bros.

The traveling brothers who battle dangerous balloons around the world using harpoon guns.

Try to remove low, fast small balloons first, since they restrict movement the most. When splitting a large balloon, do it in an open area so the new patterns stay readable. Use platforms as temporary cover and avoid backing into corners. In co-op, divide the screen instead of chasing the same target. Save strong power-ups for cramped stages or dense balloon waves.

Tips and tricks

• Small balloons are usually more dangerous than large ones because of their speed.
• Firing from beneath a platform can create safer attack angles.
• In co-op, left-right screen control is often better than overlapping movement.
