Description

We've recently updated our demo — the first third of the game is now available for free! Once you're done, you can continue where you left off in the full game.

Carving through hordes of horrors isn’t the only thing your boomerang is good for: once thrown, you can slingshot directly to it, preserving momentum and launching yourself through the air. Slow down time and use well-aimed throws to get around, above, and behind your foes. Speed is everything, and only the nimblest boomerang-er will survive…

Fight otherworldly forces and look cool doing it. Impress the boomerang with stylish tricks and it’ll grant you strange powers to let you defeat the forces of the depths with greater ease. Kaspidae smiles upon you and your killer moves…

They creep and crawl from crevices, swoop and dive from the treetops, and spray nasty bile at you from all angles. Keep your wits about you — nowhere is safe. Whatever you do, don’t stand still, or you’ll surely be consumed...

Fight your way through the bowels of a ruined civilization and stop the nightmares from spreading to the rest of your world. Something lurks deep underneath these ruined halls, spewing corruption… can you defeat whatever it is? And even if you can… will that really be the end?

Boomerang X is one of my favorite movement shooters(?) of all time. In a genre I love, it stands out as a quick, action packed, mechanically rewarding title with a low point of entry and a near infinite skill ceiling.

You won't learn anything from the reviews you can't see in the trailer. Do you like going fast and hitting your shots with a wildly fun movement mechanic? It's worth it. 9/10, the only problem is there isn't more of it.

This game is fantastic. The marriage of movement and combat make for an extremely satisfying gameplay loop that is easy to learn and hard to master. It's impressive how intuitive the sling ability is, after like 2

Unique movement options mixed with attack ability: Fling the mystic boomerang to attack and press again to be flinged towards where the boomerang currently is. The boomerang can bounce off walls so you can e.g. fall

A good game to train flick stick control type Since it's pretty basic and force you to constantly do 180° and change direction. It has native flick stick implementation, but you need to turn off stem input. The only

The game was incredible when I first played it almost five years ago, and it's just as incredible now. It's a shame that the developers shut down and the game seems to have been completely overlooked, with only 1k
