I feel what's really missing from this game is that the boomerangs do fly through the enemies, potentially even outright destroying them on the spot. In my opinion this would really boost the game up to "destroyer against hordes of enemies" satisfaction levels.
Thank you very much for the feedback! We discard this idea because it loses the essence of hitting boomerangs, and as much as it is a scoring game, the player is forced to think a little about throwing their boomerangs and not just randomly destroying everything.
I do see your point, but it still might be worth trying to find the middle point. For example most enemy types are one-hittable, but some have shields which can deflect the 'rangs. Or maybe using the boomerang types - some are invulnerable to the hot boomerang and it bounces off.
We have implemented some new things, including a boomerang with the special effect of passing through enemies and trying to return to the launcher, if you can test it again I would like to know what you think of the new updates!
Loved your game man, It's really really fun
I hate the birds haha so hard to hit then haha,
Congratulations for the game, I enjoyed a lot
I'm very happy to hear that! We've already made some changes, improvements and balances about it hsuhs, too bad we can't update XD
Oh, thanks man. i'll play it hahah
Great game! Love the art style but the gameplay feels a bit uncomfortable and the theme doesn't match pretty good imo. Overall pretty good.
The game had a beautiful pixel art style and quite satisfying game mechanics. Unfortunately, I was commonly being cornered by enemies which felt unfair and hitting the enemy did not really feel rewarding. Other than that, a really great submission and something I'd definitely play in my freetime!
The mechanic of the boomerang is nice but didn't feel that rewarded when hitting the enemy, especially if i had to move around the map a lot to collect the boomerang again. The theme wasn't really there but the gameplay was smooth.
Too bad most didn't make it to the boss where you can only defeat him with Bounce
The game concept is unique and intriguing. The theme was very obvious in the (quite frustrating yet occasionally satisfying) bouncing of the boomerang. Good job!
This game is so fun , remember me Hero siege one of the best 2d games.
Really cool concept. I love the pixel art and the controls are a good challenge.
One thing that I really really loved was the UI you implemented to find your boomerangs once they had fallen to the floor - the cyan and red arrow. So small but so effective.
