The gameplay is very challenging - good luck! The catch is you have a limited number of shots and only get new ones when you manage to eliminate some of the existing ones. The goal is to simply make balls touch like colored balls 3 times to make them dissapear. Â Bubble Cannon 2One thing in particular separates this from the other games on the list - the balls bounce off each other! That's right instead of sticking these balls bounce. How high can you score and what level can you reach? The key here is speed as there is no penalty for missing shots. As you progress through the levels the gameplay becomes more challenging as new colors are added, there are more balls to eliminate and they start moving faster and faster. If, like us, you enjoy this kind of casual gameplay give them a try!īouncing BallsEliminate all of the descending balls to pass each level. Each game listed below offers a slightly different variations of this theme. Sometimes the simplest gameplay ideas are the best - and these games are proof of that! Your goal is to eliminate all of the balls by using a canon to match 3 or more of the same color. Very neat gimmick actually, and a good addition to the basic gameplay to keep players on their toes.Featuring: Bouncing Balls, Bubble Cannon 2, Bubble Spinner, Bubble Shooter & Poxxle. If these are not "kicked off" the screen before they sprout, they will increase the height of the ground, pushing the player slightly closer to the ceiling, and making arena smaller. This time occasionally "seedlings" will fall from certain popped balloons. Panic Mode is similar to earlier Panic Modes, with one neat new addition. The Expert Mode includes 10 additional stages, with increased difficulty. The Dog will grab onto the player if touched, hindering movement. Various weird animals this time round, including an umbrella animal, a dog, and something else that I don't know what it is. Some stages have floating clouds passing by that block your harpoons. In fact, I'd say this game contains much more "puzzle / strategic-thinking" stages rather than the more action packed of the first few games.
Some stages contain platforms that you can push around to reach higher areas, and to cross gaps. Some new balloons are introduced - including ones that seem to defy gravity and bounce upside down along the ceiling in inverted bounces.
Basically, the same as previous Pang games, but with a few new gimmicks introduced.Įvery so often, between stages, the player will encounter a "Hurricane Accident Stage" whereby some platforms in the stage will tilt at an angle when each balloon popped, against a rainy background.Īlso, Players occasionally have a choice of routes between worlds. Tour Mode sees our heroes once again globetrotting around the globe, through 57 stages set across various landmarks. This time we return to the two Pang Brothers, albeit represented in a slightly more super deformed/cuter character aesthetic, for the early 2000s.Īs with most of the games in the series, we have an option of 3 modes - "Tour Mode", "Expert Mode" and "Panic Mode". The Panic mode returns also, and in similar style to Super Pang, has an oncoming barrage of balloons to pop, slowly increasing in levels, up to 99.
#BOUNCING BALLS GAME PANG SERIES#
We can see these additional elements build up the gameplay slightly as each series goes on. New for this iteration are giant Bombs bouncing around in some stages to cause chain reaction explosions, coins that fall from destroyed blocks, a new improved temporary laser gun weapon, teleporters, conveyor belts and several new enemies such as helicopters, dogs and flying squirrels that occasionally get in the way. The Normal mode has 50 stages to clear, and the expert mode (than can be accessed by inputting a code) has an additional 10 stages. Tour mode has a simple beginner mode, with just 10 stages to try out and tutorial explanations in between. The character sprites visually appear in a more pre-rendered, CGI look - possibly influenced by the success of Donkey Kong Country at the time?Īs per Super Pang, we get a choice between tour mode stages, or panic mode stages. Rather than famous landmarks for the backdrops, this time it is classic art. Each of the 4 characters have slightly different abilities (one can shoot harpoons at 45-degree angles, one is invulnerable to stage hazards etc), but your goal is to clear all the stages and therefore steal pieces of famous art for your own personal gallery. Another game in the classic Pang series, except this time around you aren't controlling the famous Pang Brothers, but instead you can choose between 4 sneaky art-thieves.
