Omg, I just realized one of the death sounds is Kendrick Lamar's hotel room scream LOL.
And it's so subtle too.
LOL yeah I added a bunch of good ones :) I'm glad someone noticed!
Loved the idea, and the music.
Amazing polish and sound!
Amazing music.
Cool idea and a fun chaining mechanic.
Loved the audio and the tutorial. It seems like the level design afterwards is unfinished though, which is too bad: I think the game could have gone to some interesting places using the core mechanics introduced.
Also, I noticed a minor bug: When you chain the boomerang between two nearby enemies, you can’t continue the chain any further.
The music was funny (and fit well!), and the gameplay was easy to learn and fun to do! I really liked the tutorial, and only wish there were more levels! :)
haha that music man... silly just in the right way =) ... gameplay is very good too. If something had to be said, i would complain about the boomerang going through walls, tho i'm not sure how to fix this and still have the boomerang coming back in all cases. Oh and game is way too short, I want more !
Awesome game =)
This was sick! Never lived in the 1800s, but I assume this was the daily routine. Loved the vfx and the sound. You really nailed the aesthetic of being the most bad-ass boomerang thrower in the west.
Wow. Amazing Idea, amazing music, actually super fun game. I will say, the tutorial run is a bit tedious to go through multiple times but this is an issue that is shared with many other games tbf. And also the graphics are a bit dull. However, I really enjoyed dodging the bullets, and the music is just something else. I absolutely love the cheekiness of the whole thing. A+
Amazing, as others have mentioned, the desire to boomerang everyone in a single shot adds a very fun optional strategic element to the game. Love the aesthetic, music, and film grain effects. 10/10.
Very silly and fun game, with great aesthetic and execution. The whole tutorial sequence is well made, and it’s very satisfying setting up a throw and listening to the screams as it unfolds. I think it might be better if there was a limit to the bullet time as I think I overused it, especially in the final level, and I also noticed that as long as a target was in line at some point then the throw still works. So you can pop out, choose a target, and then hide and the boomerang will still seek out its target through walls. Truly boomerang is inescapable.
Boomerang! You can throw! It comes back! Boomerang!
Easily one of the most satisfying submissions, trying to chain every single enemy in a room is simply irresistible, and the music makes me want to leave the game open in the background.
This game has a really fun mechanic and is well-executed.
Wow, this is my favorite submission so far.
The sound, the silly song, the bullet time while aiming, the cool text on the floor, the interactive tutorial, the shader, the Wilhelm’s screen, WOW!
Amazing work, had me in a big stupid grin the whole time :D
That's high praise! For what it's worth, @PixelArtist and I were playing your game for at least 30 min on discord yesterday and couldn't stop marveling at how fun it was. And thank you for the excellent navmesh/3d examples, their descendants live on all over this game's codebase :)
Thanks a bunch, happy it was of help :> And thanks for also trying our submission!
Please please ping me if you decide to make more levels for this game, I want MORE! :D
Solid, really fun, would pay money for a game with more story and levels.
love the game and the music!
Chaining attacks on enemies is satisfying, I love the bullet time mechanic~
GOTY loading/menu background (shader?..) is super cool The tutorial is a masterpiece Sound design is awesome
Sometimes I wanted to be able to zoom out to reach more Also I think the mode where you have to catch the boomerang or go get it where it falls would be cool.
I love this LOL
