You know a PS4 theme that isn't bad? Firewatch. It's a simple Olly Moss concept shot that changes colour with the time of day. There's a chill, minimal music track and a walky talky sound whenever you select stuff.

The journey dynamic theme is good too.

Original looks and sounds better. I don't understand, this looks like an iOS game. Oh yeah I'm old.

So this has nothing to do with the Pang from Dead Space? Or is it everything to do with the Pang from Dead Space?

eeeh it looks really basic.. Unless you have some nostalgia for this game I feel like you could get something better for 10 bucks.

Played so much of this on the SNES.

Also I just noticed Pang/Super Buster Bros. is not on the GB wiki.

Pang was a middle school flash game staple. I had no idea it was a bigger game/franchise(?).

Most of my Buster Brothers memories came from the 2-cart NEO GEO my dad had in the garage.

(I should note that the game was/is Buster Brothers in Canada as well.)

When I was in elementary school my family went on vacation to Myrtle Beach. I didn't care for the beach, but there was an arcade like across the beachfront road near the place we were staying, and it had a Buster Bros. machine and I put about a car's down payment of my dad's quarters into that thing.

The Buster Brothers collection on PS1 was good but I don't know if just the first game would be a worthwhile purchase. Even for just 10$

I wish they had gone a bit further into the Tour Mode, because what they showed seems like this is lacking the charm, variety, and challenge of the original arcade game and its sequels.

I wonder if that's actually the case, as is common when they bring back old games like these, or if it just starts out slow.

Pang as a verb: to torment; to torture; to cause to have great pain or suffering

I played the shit out of Buster Bros.! My grandmother would often take me to this one convenience store after school for a snack and sometimes gave us quarters for games. (Every time I think of Buster Bros. now I recall the taste of Corn Nuts.) That place had such greats as Final Fight, Street Fighter II, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Willow.

I rented the Super Nintendo version once and was immediately disappointed by the lack of a coop mode. I should track it down sometime now since I don't have anyone to play with anyway.

I only remember the Pang bubbles that have gravity and break up into even smaller bubbles than those shown.

Apart from the obvious frame rate issues, the original Pang on the Amiga was 100x better than this trash money grab in almost every way. Kudos on Pasta Games for acquiring the most random IP out there though!

Isn't this it? Super Buster Bros.

Edit: Does this game have anything to do with Japan other than lineage? The katakana (アドベンチャーズ = Adventures) on the menu screen in an otherwise completely English game seems weird.
