But they call it "Pang" in other countries.So, remember .... the official Buster Bros. for iphone is called "Pang Mobile" Well, there is an official version of the Buster Bros. game in the AppStore available in the US.

But what we really need is a brand-new Buster Bros. sequel with 3D gameplay for the current generation of gaming. If Super Mario 64 and Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance could sucessfully transition from 2D to 3D, then so can Buster Bros. If there could be a new installment for at least the Wii (and perhaps the PS3 and XBOX 360 as well) with the original Buster Bros. game (emulated from the arcade version) as unlockable content, then it would make Buster Bros. fans rejoice.

The disclaimer about the control scheme is well below the page break on the iPhone App Store which is where I bought Buster Boy. In general, I try to avoid taking in the fluff and embellishment that typically lives in the application description so I can have a clean slate going in.As for the help screen, some copy underneath the animation explaining how to shoot would clear up the ambiguities there. In its current state, it's unclear that tapping in the upper region of the screen is the only way to fire off projectiles.Nonetheless, it's good to know that you'll be fixing the bug you've identified there. I'm confident that you'll start receiving better ratings that exceed your current position when those updates go live.Thank you for contributing to the AppCraver community.

As long as you know that until 1.1 you need to fire by touching above the horizontal, the controls are actually extremely responsive.As for the help screen: the game involves tilting your device to move Buster Boy, and touching the screen to fire. The help screen shows an animation that demonstrates both moving and firing. More would be superfluous, no?
