I cracked up when I heard the minecraft sounds! And what a killer track! Fun game, keep it up!
Thank you for playing!
very fun game, enjoyed the variety of boomerangs to use, and the music was addicting. Also just wondering. some of those sound affects sounded and awful lot like minecraft....
They are from minecraft just a little bit edited. Thank you for playing!
Good job on this one! Some levels were really difficult but they were always inventive.
Good job coming up with a variety of different boomerangs! Tighter control and a bit more easing curve on the difficulty of the levels would have make it even better <3
Thank you for the feedback and for playing!
I loved all the different boomerangs with their different powers! I found some of the puzzles to require very precise positioning and/or timing which could get a bit frustrating, but I’m not ruling out the possibility that this may have been because I found the wrong solutions sometimes xD
Generally really neat puzzle/level design though.
Thank you for your feedback and playing!
This is a very cool puzzle. It's simple but interesting! The music and graphics are great!
Thank you for playing!
Great game! you have a good talent for level design!
Thank you!
I really like the mechanic of the boomerang. This is genuinely one of the best games I've seen on the jam till now! The minimum boomerang throws needed is a really good challenge, and I found myself hooked. Such a great concept!
At first you had a limited amount of throws too but a lot of people didn't like it. Thanks for playing!
Good game with a nice variety of mechanics; and I like the use of the boomerang for the jam theme.
I got stuck on level 7 as well.
A lot of people have lol.
Maybe the most fun I've had with a game this game jam. Teleportation boomerang was definitely the most fun. The only question I have is why do you write everything with "seems"? ahahah. I was super confused at first
To add mystery and make it more cryptic lol
hahahah well at first it confused me i thought i was missing some mechanic like that what is happening isn't actually real
Very creative!! The puzzles were good and creative as well! I like the mechanic!
I finished, and I must say the level that gave the most trouble was the teleportarang one with the momentum. It was very clever! good job
I was thinking about removing that mechanic but decided to keep it anyway. Thanks for playing!
it was my pleasure ! great game :D
I like the idea of having various boomerangs that act differently. A vary creative puzzle platformer!
Thank you for playing! Loved your game aswel.
A good implementation of the theme with well-designed level and boomerangs. That said, the platformer controls felt a bit slippery and floaty to me. A bit tighter controls would’ve definitely suited this game better IMO. Great job nevertheless.
Thank you for playing and for your feedback! During this jam, I focused more on the level design rather than the physics so I'll keep it in mind!
Fun game, but I'm stuck on 7 level and the tip didn't help at all.
When you throw a boomerang it returns to you it will go through blocks and hit buttons on the way back.
This was a fun game! You made a lot of creative boomerangs, and did a good job of creating levels that made us combine them in interesting ways.
Thank you so much!
The implementation of the theme was smart. The level design was also great. I liked it!
Thank you so much!
The puzzles are very cool and the boomerang mechanics are just amazing. Very creative :D congrats!
Thank you!
Great game, I really liked how many puzzles and the variety of them you were able to create with just the concept of boomerangs. Very fun!
Thank you!
The game is good. I like the idea of you using the boomerang to activate buttons and stuff. Yet, I feel like most puzzles just turn out being tedious and just trying to spam the black boomerang later on.
But all in all I enjoyed it!
After level 9 you will need to use the black boomerang less.

I LOVE THIS GAME!! I love how the theme is being used! I got stuck on level 7 but figured it out with the hint. This is one of the better games I've played in this jam!
Thank you for playing.
Love the idea of loop in the context of a boomerang! + love the boomerang names ahah
Really well made puzzles! I like how you subtly teach us how to play!
I finished it! Was very fun! I definetly had those aha! moments
Feedback that I had while playing! Was a bit stuck on execution for level 11 to get to the door. But then apparently i can jump midair while using the teleporterang (bug?), I'm still not too sure how we were supposed to get to the door (teleport + right momentum?). Some levels like 14 were hard to execute on had to try again and again even though i knew how to do it. A return arrow/indicator would also be nice to see what path the boomerang would take back! (Assuming the fun is more in the puzzles than executing perfectly!)
Scroll wheel to switch between them would be great for those who can't reach the 6 easily!
I think there could be some very interesting puzzles if you could combine the boomerangs! like use one while the other is flying.
Good stuff!
Thank you for the feedback I will keep it in mind. Just to be clear it's not a bug that you can jump right after you teleport. Originally you had to perfectly time your jump right when you're about to teleport which is still possible by the way but it was too hard to time it perfectly. So I made it so there is a small period of time after you teleport that you can still jump.
