Pang 2004

You control a character who moves left and right across the bottom of the screen. Your goal is to clear each stage of bouncing balloons by shooting a harpoon upward to pop them. When you hit a large balloon, it splits into two smaller, faster ones. You keep shooting until every piece is gone. The game gets faster as you progress, and the smaller balloons can be tricky to hit. It feels straightforward but requires steady timing to avoid getting hit yourself. The experience is a focused cycle of aiming, dodging, and clearing the screen.
