Pang Zero is a clone and enhancement of Super Pang, a fast-paced action game that involves popping balloons with a harpoon.
The intention of our effort is to create a fun, open-source game that many (currently up to 6) people can play together. The game is playable, you can try it now. It's free, we made it because we like to share the fun. So can you: download it now. You can play Pang Zero alone, but it's a lot more fun to play with your friends.
Pang Zero is written by UPi.
Before downloading the game, you might want to check out our /Screenshots. You can also see a short demo video on YouTube. (This demo video was not made by us, and we stumbled across it quite by accident.)
The following video demos were posted to youtube by people unrelated to the project's authors:
A player making 238750 points at Nightmare difficulty
Two guys playing at Miki difficulty.
A demo of an older version of Pang Zero.
Download the Game
You can try Pang Zero now! The latest version is 1.3.
Download our game free from sourceforge.net's (slightly confusing) download system:
- Windows users can get an installer that they can run and enjoy.
- Linux and BSD people can get a tarball here. (Note that you must also install SDL_perl. Chances are that your distribution has it.) You can unpack - configure - make install, but the latter two steps are not necessary.
Sourceforge.net makes these files available through a number of high-bandwidth mirrors throughout the world. You will be asked to choose mirror, by clicking on the "Download" link on the far right side of the page, next the logo if the mirror closest to you.
