A very amusing and entertaining Pang precursor ...

This funny-little game makes boredom almost impossible.

The balls never stop falling onto you so you must be quick ... good fun! ;D

1983 Hudson Soft (Japan)
by Tanaka and Sasagawa

I cant remember if I ever had this game when I was a kid, but it sure looks familiar, maybe because the game as been reworked so many times along this last decades its stuck on my head.
The game is not a great programming achievement, it even looks like it was written in Basic and then acelerated with the machine code.
Everything moves in characters rather than pixels so it doesnt feel or looks smooth.
But it is very addictive, even if you feel like you are not going far in it because of its difficulty and programming simplicity. But in 1983 due to the limited range of existing games this was highly playable and I bet it made the delights of a lot of children.
If you are into simple, fast action, reflexes demanding games, then this is for you.

Technically is not brilliant, but the idea is. Is it "pang" created some years in advance...considering that pang idea was said to be great...this game is double great and therefore deserves a 5...but you will probably enjoy pang a bit more

Talvez tenha sido bom na época, mas é fraco, cansa rápido.

A diferença entre Bubble Buster e Cannon Ball me parece ser meramente cosmética. O Bubble Buster é o melhor dos dois, ainda que por diferença mínima.
