How it feels

A fast-paced arcade platformer where you chain enemy combos with a single boomerang throw to build score and unlock upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the game's FM-synth soundtrack and find the boomerang combo system fun, but they are split on difficulty. The normal mode is enjoyable while hard mode is very tough, and the time trials for 110% completion are nearly impossible with the game's moveset. The 32-bit art and hand-drawn backgrounds are also frequently highlighted.
