Harness the power of a mystical boomerang to fling yourself through the air in this acrobatic arena shooter. Slice, fly, and blast through swarms of evil creatures on an abandoned island with a cryptic past. Stay agile or meet your doom.
The movement in this game feels incredible. Players can throw the boomerang-like weapon and then instantly dash or slingshot directly to it, allowing for lightning-fast traversal and positioning. Reviewers consistently praise this core mechanic, describing it as "insanely fun to use" that lets them "whip around all over the place" with a natural, responsive flow.
As you progress, the game introduces new boomerang abilities that dramatically change the gameplay. Early on, you'll only have the basic throw and dash, but later upgrades like bullet time, ground pounds, and shotgun-like blasts open up a wealth of stylish combat possibilities. Reviewers highlight how each new tool expands the potential for fluid, high-skill combos, leading to a rewarding sense of mastery.
The game places you in enclosed arenas filled with waves of diverse, formidable enemies. Defeating these encounters requires quick reflexes, precise aiming, and constant mobility, leading to an intense, "stressful and tense" experience. While some find the difficulty well-paced, others describe it as brutally challenging, necessitating full command of the movement and abilities.
Beyond the main campaign, the game offers a New Game+ mode with remixed enemy layouts, as well as various endless challenges. Reviewers show enthusiasm for the game's replayability, especially for speedrunning and chasing achievements. The tight, responsive controls and focus on movement make it an appealing prospect for skilled players looking to optimize their runs.
