Nice game. I really like the way you can use the boomerang to catch the kangaroos on the return trajectory. It might benefit from the player collision hitbox being a little smaller so you can last longer in tight spots. The sound effects are very fun but the death sound is maybe a tad loud xD
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Well done mate :)
Fun game and I also really love the sound effects.
it's fun the controls for the boomerang felt slightly weird, at the start, but were logical enough later.
I liked it, the art, is funny, the games good.
well done
Thanks! After watching some people play it seems many didn't understand that you can guide the boomerang which makes it harder to play so I understand how the controls might feel odd. Anyways, thanks for enjoying the game!
Well i knew about the boomerang, it just felt weird when starting out :)
But once i got how it worked it was great
Made it to 31 points! Loved waiting for the right moment to rack up some serious kangaroo combos.
Also, the death scream is perfect lmao, I was mimicking it every time I died.
Update: I made it to 54 points and I am now legally barred from entering Australia
Thanks! :)
Gameplay 3/5 because of a bug that forces you to go to the left at the beginning of the game
Visuals: could have used a bit of juice, and the score text is blurry, 3/5
Audio 5/5, if I could 10/5. The death scream is really funny and the soundtrack is charming!
Overall 5/5, I really enjoyed the setting, and it's all so funny and charming.
Themes 4/5 it's a great idea!
wait actually gameplay 4/5 because I just realized that the boomerang follows your mouse
Thanks it was fun to make :)
