Description
Pang is a platform game which consists of 50 levels in total. It can be played with one or two players on the same screen, and the other player can join anytime within the game, it doesn't have to be set up front. Your main, and only goal is to destroy the balloons, and depending on their size, they either split on two smaller ones, or evaporate if they're at their minimum size. You can also pick up weapons like two-fires at once, the hook that attaches to the ceiling and waits 'til something bumps into it, a gun which is best used for something higher depending on its firing speed and ability to only destroy balloon from below and not from sides like wiring bullet. Beside extra weapons, you can also pick certain things like clock (halting time for a small period), dynamite (reducing all balls to minimum size, thus making you able to reach more points), life, and such.

Trivia
The game's basic idea of shooting balloons to split them into smaller ones came from an 1983 title (also by Hudson Soft) called Bubble Buster. As far as I know, the game only appeared on the Sinclair Spectrum system, marketed by Sinclair themselves.
