Game's Take on the Theme
Using a boomerang that spins around the player as a weapon
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
I single-handedly made every sprite in the game, there is no team. I made one track for the game, and the other one was royalty free music, ("Bossa Antiguo" - Aaron Paul Low)
If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

The idea is very fun and cute. I feel the bosses could use some more tells. Loads of moves comes out too fast for you to be able to react. I also think the kangaroo could have been placed later down the ranks with how difficult he is. I think you should still work on it cause I really do love the idea of this. And throwing the boomerang is very fun.
I'm surprised people are finding the kangaroo to be harder than the others, it was the first one I made hahaha. thank you for your feedback!
Love that the Kangaroo is a boxer. Game is super hard though, not a big window to dodge the kangaroo attack. Theme is fun though
Yea these are my first attempt on making a boss fight ever, so they can use some work. I'll work on improving for future projects
I've learned from this Jam that its very hard to judge the difficulty curve for your own game haha so no worries at all :P The concept of dodging the boomerang is a really cool idea , but I just felt like I couldn't figure out that and not get murked by the boss haha
I love the art style but impossible for me to beat one boss, this is very hard. for me ^^
Do you have any tips for me?
Generally, avoid making sudden movements and staying near the bosses helps a lot especially with the kangaroo and snake. You don't have to throw your boomerang at max speed, since it will return to you at that speed too. You want it at around the same speed as the boss is moving so you hit it multiple times as its coming back.
all my friends irl also said this game was pretty hard, but once you get the feel of it I think you will find it quite fun.
good luck!
I loved the art style and all of the effects. They look really good and the time you spent working on the art really shows. Good job. The overall concept is great too. This is a really good game.
Love the art, love the concept, hope you get a win with this.
