GAMEPLAY

Guide the fearless Pang through a grand total of 17 countries, as he hunts and shoots balloons. Balloons appear in four different sizes. When a balloon is shot it will continually divide itself into half until it reaches its smallest size. When you shoot the smallest balloons they, finally, disappear. After you have destroyed all of the balloons you can move to the next level.
On your travels you will discover different objects such as birds, robots and crabs - but watch out, not all of them will help you. For example, some of them may stop you from firing. So be careful out there! You can also collect the following items:

HARPOON - Destroys the balloons and any blocks in the way. It will disappear as soon as it touches anything.

DOUBLE HARPOON - Allows you to shoot two wires at the same time.

POWER HARPOON - Will stay on-screen for a few seconds. It destroys balloons and blocks. 

VULCAN MISSILE - Will destroy the balloons but not the blocks. You may shoot continuously. If you move underneath the balloons you can shoot them all.

DYNAMITE - Makes all the balloons split into their smallest size. 

CLOCK - Stops the balloons from moving for a few seconds. 

HOURGLASS - Slows the balloons down.
