poor boomerang didnt come back
That was fun/interesting! Great work!
Hard to predict what the trajectory of the boomerang will be!
I really liked the clean, crisp graphical style. Sounds were okay, although they cot a bit annoying after a while. The boomerang's physics felt very weird and inconsistent though.
Cute game ! I lost my boomerang after level 6 :P Good job with the graphics I love the isometric view.
Cool take on the theme, You've got a pretty fun game here!
What a fun game! Well done! The graphic style is clean and the use of the theme very clever.
A fun, albeit simple game. Not sure how well this fits the theme though.
A nice but a little unpredictable boomerang. I played for 30 levels, did not know if the game had an end. Simple concept, but nice gameplay.
nicely executed!
Very fun! It's a video game boomerang simulator game.
The boomerang is hard to predict, but it's fun to play.
Nice crisp graphics! Bit hard to predict the boomerang's path, but still fun.
I love this minimalistic art style and enjoyed this idea for puzzle gameplay. :) The mechanics of boomerang could be explained better, but I think I got it. Are levels generated or preseted? And I'm not sure if that's bug, but few times the ball has moved around after failure, and once got inside a tree.
Thanks for all the feedback! Was my first entry to Ludum so I kept my plans simple so I could finish.
Boomerang is definitely a bit tricky. I wanted a fully elliptical path but that didn't work so well so I made it to where the boomerang first goes to where you click then does the full 180 degree semicircle before returning.
@Tonasz: levels are all randomized/generated. And yes I think on the return path, the boomerang can sometimes glitch through trees (collider fail due to the movement/rotation speed I think).
I quite like the graphics! It's quite cute. I made a boomerang game too! Quite different to yours which goes to show there's a lot you can do :D
Please check it out!

Cute game, though since you can just keep throwing it I dunno how much it adheres to the theme.
When there were a few trees and you swung the boomerang between them it was supremely satisfying!
Nice idea, but the boomerang trajectory is a little weird, I think! We made a boomerang game as well, nice to see the same idea generating games in completely different genres :D
Nice idea, good implementation. but unfortunately it is more luck than skill required. More different levels would also be nice.
A good game. Stuck at level 6 tho ;)
Pretty good, with clever level design and vibrant graphics. I found, though, that the boomerang mechanic behaved somewhat unreliable sometimes.
I loved the concept, but the puzzles aren't very well thought out. If you hit the ball, but don't get the boomerang back, the level restarts with the ball in a new position. This makes me think that the levels are actually random and not puzzles at all, more a luck-based game as opposed to a skill/logical one which I hoped it was. Overall, an enjoyable game, nicely done.
I like the minimal graphics style and gameplay! Could improve control (or lack of) the boomerang when it's comming back. Nice work!
Interesting idea. Is there a way to predict the direction the boomerang will turn? It's quite hard this way. Funky art style.
Simple and fun! It was hard to know if the boomerang would turn left or right, so too a lot of gambles. The spinning was weird. But other than that, great game, and a great way to kill time.
Really cute looking. Love the game :) I included this game in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/fUXvqevl8YI
