Help me remember a game

I remember this old, old game from (the nineties, I think?) when I was a child and PC magazines came with a lot of shareware games.

Ok, this game was about fighting weirdo bubbles - usually red ones, but there were hexagonal green ones and other weird stuff (and other enemies, too, I think, but mostly bubbles and bubble-like stuff). I think they were ghosts or something like that. One and two-player (first player was a boy, second one was a girl). You fought them by shooting weird coloured line-things upwards (hooks? Spears?). The bubbles split when shot, so that a huge-ass bubble became two big bubbles andd so on and on until you were fighting little bubbles of doom if you weren't careful (I hated the little fast ones). You could get power-ups from popping the bubbles. First boss was the end of shareware, and I think he was a giant clowface with bubble hands or something like that (one of the "previewed" bosses was a huge yellow bird). Also the soundtrack was quite cool.

I really don't remember the name, and I searched pretty much all my old CDs (the ones still working, that is) about it.

Probably one of the sequels then. This one I played at the arcades, the description you made fits well.
Shooting a harpoon at the bubble, and it splits in two. Somebody must have ported it to DOS.

All these are basically pang clones. Damn, those games were hard.
