Pang is an action game that was also released on the Amstrad CPC (1991).
+ Clever use of environmental hazards and enemies to spice up the level design as you progress.
+ You can choose the stage order, which is a great idea that allows less skilled gamers to see further ahead.
+ The two-player simultaneous mode is exceptional and the graphics shine with stunningly detailed backdrops.
+ Controls are rock solid and the fun power-ups (such as the rapid fire gun) give you plenty of ways to tackle the stages.
- Collision detection isn't always consistent and you'll sometimes die despite an enemy sprite being a few pixels away.
- Lack of continues can be dispiriting and it seems incredibly stingy not to at least include a password system.
