Pang! 3 HD

Pang! 3 HD (in North-America: Buster Buddies HD) is an action-skill, shooter game for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS, downloadable for the Nintendo eShop, developed by Capcom with the cooperation by GreenStar Studios and Fantendo. This is an enhanced remake and a slightly sequel from the original arcade game Pang! 3, developed by Mitchell Coorporation in 1995, now in high-definition with 3D graphics and lightning. This is the fifth game from the Pang! series including Mighty! Pang.
== Changes from Pang! 3 ==
Pang! 3 HD offers so much content than the previous game:
* The graphics (colors, transitions and 3D effects) look fresh and neat.
* Light effects are visible.
* Casual players can now play this game more easily for more gameplay experience.
** Normal Mode is now available to save progress.
* New modes are added: VS Mode and Online Mode (see below).
* Achievements and Inventory are added for a more game experience.
* Online gameplay is now available.
* New items and returning items from other Pang! games.
* Music and SFX are much more fluid and catchier, differently comparing from the PS1 version.
== Gameplay ==
The game takes up most of the gameplay of the original Pang released in 1989. The player controls a character who can move right or left (and climb the ladders in certain levels), and shoot harpoons upwards. Balls bounce and when the player shoots one of them, it divides into two balls, which themselves divide again when shot ... The more the balls are divided (and therefore smaller) and the less they bounce high: the player will have to adapt to the timings corresponding to the various sizes of balls on the screen. The player must avoid the contact with the balls under pain of losing a life.
