This is my first look at at the first Country in Pangman on the Quest which is based on Pang a 2D arcade game back in the late 80's.
The game is played from inside the arcade cabinet, with the aim of the game being to defeat all of the balls/orbs that come towards you. As with the original arcade game, larger orbs when shot will divide into smaller orbs, each needing to be shot and cleared to beat a level. There are 14 different countries to visit, each becoming more progressively difficult and 9 levels plus the boss at the end.
You can choose to play the game in single or twin guns, with a story or arena mode, the story can be played through co-operatively. The arena and co-op I have not tried as of yet.
The control feels very accurate, although your are fixed in place, as you would be if standing at an arcade cabinet, you can dodge any incoming bouncing orbs, plus the canons that fire at you if they are hit accidently by your shots, some enemies, such as bosses also have the ability to fire at you, you will always know why you have died as the screen cuts to the view from outside the cabinet and you can see the point of contact. The guns fire and aim feels spot on, there is no reloading, you also have grapples, which can be armed in each hand, for single or double firing, they are linked by an electric current, so far a wide enough shot and you will take down a number of enemies.
This may seem like just another wave shooter, but it is challenging and well designed with a lot of levels that will take some time to complete.
