Tang Tang

Tang Tang is a platform game released in arcades in 2000 by the Korean company Excellent Soft Design (ESD). As one of four space soldiers, your duty is to kill enemies and make platforms to get to certain places, making the game a unique experience in the fact that you can actually create different versions of the level. The game plays similarly to Solomon's Key. A port for the Game Boy Advance was developed by the American company GameVision Corporation, who also released the arcade version in North America. It was released by Take-Two Interactive in North America and Europe.
