I think I got stuck on level 7😅 nice game regardless! The Kylie Boomerang fooled me, I was ready to solve all levels with it.
Thank you for playing. On level 7 you have to throw the boomerang in a way that it will hit the button when it returns to you. I love the kylie boomerang too it's inspired from bloond td 6.
I think this game is the longest I’ve played in the jam. This is super fun! I’m glad you put a twist on the boomerang idea, level design was great too. Really fun!
I would like to know how you designed level 20. I passed it using only the tp boomerang, but when I saw the pull rod, I got the feeling that it may wasn’t originally intended to be passed solely with the tp boomerang.:)
I create levels from an idea and then I try to find multiple solutions and change the layout a bit until I like it. On level 20 the teleporterang was one of the solutions but it's not the solution if you want to get solution with the limit of 3 throws.
This was way fun to play! The physics were a bit weird at times (immediate jump after landing on a platform because spacebar was held down, or the boomerang not following the throw indicator very accurately). But other than that, this game is awesome! Great job!
I was focused more on the puzzle than the physics. For the boomerang not following the indicator I think it's because of it's hitbox and it hitting something on the way.
Very cool mechanics and great level design! A couple of head scratcher levels felt really good
Thank you for playing!
This was actually a really good puzzle platformer! I like each boomerangs unique use, and the music is a bop!
Thank you for the feedback! I like the music too.
Very cool idea. Incredible how you made a lot of levels in such a short time.
Stayed up all night making levels lol
What a clever little brain-teaser! I loved experimenting with each boomerang’s flight path—it kept me hooked. The level variety is great, too. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Cool and iteresting puzzle game :)
Thanks for playing!
Pretty fun game and I enjoyed most of the puzzles (although levels 11 and 18 took me some time because I found it hard to time the throws there).
Thank you for playing!
Really cool game concept! Really cool and interesting puzzle design
Thank you for playing!
The puzzle design is really interesting, really stong use of the player's spatial awareness / understanding. I got stuck on level 13 but really loved the puzzles :)
Throw the stoperang at the top somewhere and then make your way down as fast as possible so the stoperang can hit buttons on it's way back.
It’s a really great game. The increasing difficulty at each level makes it even more engaging. I think some physics improvements could be made in later stages. But even as it is now, it offers a very enjoyable and successful experience. The theme is also very well integrated into the game.
Thank you for playing. I was more focused on making puzzles rather than physics.

Guys, try this game. It's big fun. ;-)
Thank you for playing!
The puzzle design is great! Other than that, the art is decent but could do with a bit of work. The music is too aggressive in my opinion. Also, Wow, there are so many levels! I don't have time to finish all those. 😵
Anyway, Good game.
I added the music last second.
A bit of a tune up with the physics would really stick the landing here, there's a solid core here with the different boomerangs, I was skeptical at first as far as how complex the puzzles could be but it more than proves itself.
Complexity and difficulty increases with each level!
Loved the concept and idea, this was the most fun i had in a game in this jam!
Thank you!
I loved this concept so much! All the different boomarangs were so cool and each gimmick was executed very well.
Thank you!

Not a bad game to be honest. I love how the theme was implemented here. Very unique!
Thanks!
