Good game. Though it would be better with the originals included.

Final Rating: 7.5/10 Introduction Pang Adventures is a revival of the classic Pang/Buster Bros. arcade series, brought to life by Dotemu and Pastagames. The game retains the core mechanics that made the original popular: fast-paced, bubble-popping action combined with challenging levels and co-op gameplay. With updated visuals and new features, Pang Adventures aims to appeal to both nostalgic fans of the series and newcomers looking for a fun arcade experience. Gameplay and Mechanics The core gameplay involves shooting and popping bouncing bubbles that split into smaller ones until they disappear. Players control one of the Pang brothers, moving across the screen and using a variety of weapons, such as harpoons and machine guns, to clear waves of bubbles. The game features tight controls, and the fast-paced action requires quick reflexes and precise timing. The challenge ramps up quickly, with different bubble types and environmental hazards keeping the gameplay dynamic. Each stage introduces unique obstacles, from electrified bubbles to exploding mines, adding variety and strategy to the classic formula. Game Modes and Levels Pang Adventures offers three main game modes: - Tour Mode: A classic story mode where players travel across different locations, popping bubbles and facing unique challenges in each stage. - Panic Mode: An endless survival mode where players must pop as many bubbles as possible before they overwhelm the screen. - Score Attack Mode: A mode focused on achieving the highest score by clearing levels quickly and efficiently. The game features over 100 levels set across various locations, from tropical beaches to icy tundras, each with its own unique aesthetic and obstacles. Boss battles are a new addition, offering intense, pattern-based fights that break up the standard gameplay and add an extra layer of challenge. Co-op Multiplayer One of the highlights of Pang Adventures is its local co-op mode, allowing two players to team up and tackle the bubble-popping action together. The co-op gameplay is fast-paced and chaotic, requiring good communication and coordination to avoid being overwhelmed by bubbles. While the lack of online multiplayer is disappointing, the local co-op experience captures the spirit of the original arcade game and offers a fun, nostalgic experience. Graphics and Sound The game features bright, colorful visuals with a modern, cartoonish art style that updates the classic look of the original series. The environments are varied and detailed, providing a lively backdrop to the bubble-popping action. The animations are smooth, and the bubble physics feel satisfying, adding to the overall polish of the gameplay. The sound design is simple but effective, with catchy, upbeat music that fits the arcade vibe. The popping sound effects are satisfying, and the soundtrack adds energy to the gameplay without being distracting. Replayability and Challenge Pang Adventures offers a good level of replayability, thanks to its multiple game modes and increasing difficulty. The game’s fast-paced action and quick levels make it easy to pick up for short play sessions, but the higher difficulty levels and Panic Mode offer a real challenge for players seeking to master the game. However, the repetitive nature of the gameplay may limit its appeal for those who prefer more variety. Conclusion Pang Adventures successfully revives the classic arcade formula with updated graphics, new mechanics, and challenging gameplay. It retains the charm and simplicity of the original while introducing modern features that enhance the experience. Though the lack of online multiplayer and the repetitive nature of the gameplay may be drawbacks, the game’s co-op mode and nostalgic appeal make it a fun choice for fans of arcade classics. Pros: - Tight, fast-paced bubble-popping action. - Varied levels and boss battles add depth. - Local co-op captures the spirit of the original arcade experience. - Bright, colorful visuals and catchy soundtrack. Cons: - No online multiplayer mode. - Gameplay can become repetitive over time. - Difficulty spikes may be frustrating for casual players. Final Rating: 7.5/10 Pang Adventures is a solid revival of a classic arcade series, delivering fun and challenging gameplay with a modern twist. It’s a great pick for fans of retro games and those looking for a quick, cooperative gaming experience.

April 2024

This game runs great on linux and of course that means on the steam deck too, getting 60 fps. I can't for the life of me get it to run above 55 fps on windows 11 though. Not even at 800x600 resolution. Fullscreen or not. This needs a patch for windows 11. If you know of a fix please help us all out and comment below.
