Challenging game! I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

To InfinityOne of my favorite games so far, I really like this game! The artstyle is simple but cute and the levels are well designed.
Maybe it would be cool if there was a kind of obstacle that blocks the boomerang but not the player. That way, you have to rely more on the player itself, because most levels can be finished with just throwing immediately.
Overall a very cool game, well done!

Beach blastGreat concept, was a little difficult to control the boomerang at first but it felt fun to use once I gained a bit of skill with it.

Outta My Way!!!We have a similar idea.. but I think that your is more challenging, good job!
One question: how do you think that the user play the game? Dodging the bull or distracting him with the red boomerang?

The Fearful SheepI really like the concept of it and the art is very nice too, but I couldn't figure out how to play it. The tutorial was a bit hard to understand because it would change text every time I did an action. It said I needed to use the mouse to steer something but I couldn't find any effect of this. Is there something I'm missing?

Crash The RocketThis is an amazing game! Great distinctive style and nice gameplay. Pretty hard, though - I was unable to beat level 4. :)

Cardboard KidsReally awesome game!
For all Mac users: The app doesn’t work, because the executable file isn’t set as executable. But because it’s such a great game here’s a way to fix this:
- Unzip everything
- Open a Terminal
- Move to the directory your Bullmerang app is located with cd. If it’s still in your download folder and you didn’t move anything, copy this into the terminal and hit enter:
cd ~/Downloads/Bullmerang-GTMK2020-mac/
- Then copy this command and also hit enter: (the +x marks it as executable)
chmod +x Bullmerang.app/Contents/MacOS/Bullmerang
- If it still doesn’t open, at least the error message should be different now.
- right click it and select “Open”
- Confirm that you trust the developer and want to open the App
