Description

Pang (also known as Buster Bros. in the North American release and Pomping World in the Japanese) is a videogame created in 1989 by Mitchell Corporation that consists in two players cooperating in destroying various bubbles bouncing around the screen.

In this project, we extracted its assets to recreate this game using C++ and SDL 2.0 libraries.
