Really like the boomerang mechanics, having it go endlessly until you catch it. Awesome!

Pity that there aren't more levels. The boomerang mechanic is interesting :-)

This was fun! I also made a boomerang game, but it's more a puzzle game. Very different! Check it out :D

Now that was fun. Loved the "zombies on ice" level and the way the cars pushed away those enemies, and the controls felt very good as well. The boomerang mechanics are kind of funny, but a at times a little easy to exploit (sort of letting the boomerang fly in a small circle while hiding behind it). Having an upgrade menu was a great idea to increase motivation, and it seemed to make sense and was easy to understand. Overall, great work. :)

throwing the boomerang and luring zombies to walk into it was fun ^^

Neat game, enjoyable to line up combo hits. Especially fun to create a circle of death and lead the enemies through.

Very innovative and fun game mechanics! Gameplay could be a little faster thought

I like the angry sheep mechanic and how intuitive the boomerang was. Great job coming up with a new game mechanic.

Holy shit, this is the best casual game I have played XD

I seriously have played this longer than any other games, I found myself keep on playing the same Road level just to get upgrades! I got myself 200 for boomerang speed and 50 for movement speed and it was overkill!

Anyway, I would really appreciate if you add more levels (or auto-generated levels) to increase the difficulty and add upgrade option for boomerang range charging time!

Awesome game, very addictive XD

Great game. The upgrade feature gave it lots of replayability too :)

Wow, this was a bit of a surprise! Nice mechanic (the boomerang makes a lot more sense than the 'returning arrow' a lot of entries are using), and levels that make you do different things (particularly liked the frogger style road with extra hazards.

Good crisp graphics too. Nice one.

This is one of the best and most fun games I played so far for LD28. The only thing I would love to see are more (and harder!) levels. Good job!

That was really awesome, I got to 20 damage and an unreasonably high boomerang speed. I was just grinding level 3 by running and clicking haha. Great work
