Challenging game! I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thank you! I love your channel!
I didn't realize the boomerang could be controlled until the second-to-last level. Also the mouse control didn't work for me at all, but the XBox Controller worked fine. I am using the Linux build.
It keeps crashing. But what I played was very good.
Sorry to hear that, which platform are you using?
Was the game crashing in a specific part?
It crashed a million times in the first level. I was able to continue sometimes but eventually it crashes.
which platform are you using?
Windows.
Wait there's a secret roll button? You cheeky devs you.
Might just be the linux build, but I had a really hard time getting the game window to close
This is really amazing game and relaxing, i enjoyed playing it good job!!
One 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!
Great 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.
Fantastic game! Art, sound, music are all great, and the mechanic is very original.
Simple mechanics yet very well implemented! Added your game to my favorites!
Cool idea! However.. I think a better description for how it fits the theme, is that you've given the player so much control in such a limited environment, the options for control itself is "out of control". :)
super cute style :D
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?
I 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?
Thank you for the feedback! The mouse is used to move the boomerang. You throw it with left mouse click (if you hold it for a while it's thrown faster).
Yeah I was wondering about that. It only goes right in front of me. Even if I hold down the mouse button before I throw, the boomerang just appears in front of me without traveling any distance
That might be a bug! Which platform are you using? I only had the chance to try it on windows
I'm using windows. I also noticed that on the first level I can walk over to the pen and place my boomerang there and that will cause the game to softlock
This is an amazing game! Great distinctive style and nice gameplay. Pretty hard, though - I was unable to beat level 4. :)
Got to work on the difficult curve in this one! Thanks for sharing feedback!
Also my highscore is 7:14 and I’m really proud😅
Great!! Not everyone's managing to beat it. I guess the difficulty curve spikes too quickly.
You really should be proud! :D
Really 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:
Thank you so much for helping! I didn't have the chance to test it on a Mac!
Sorry for the inconvenience.
