Bobs Boomerang Adventure
A scientist accidentally shrinks himself, armed with only a boomerang he must find the growth serum in this Metroidvania game!
(wait for the web build to load trust me it will)
(the cut scene in the web version is buggy, the windows download fixes the problem )

Enjoyable and fun little game. Would love to see this concept expanded upon.
Hey, Great work! I had a great time playing this game!
I loved the little scientist guy and really think y'all managed to pack in a good amount of stuff given the time frame :) It took a bit to get used to throwing and catching the boomerang but once I got it the mechanic was pretty fun! The boomerang jump took a bit of finessing but I figured it out in the end :) Some of the enemies felt a bit tough to manage with just a single boomerang (specifically the fly) maybe you could add some knockback? My boomerang kept dragging them straight to me!
Overall, great job and I hope you had a bunch of fun making it!
This was probably the best game I have ever played. Good Job!
Thank You it means alot
Yep, jsut beat it.
I remember playing a version of the game in the last days that was far shorter (was it a demo or something?)
but yeah, full game is quite nice.
only annoyance, as others have already mentioned, is the boomerang recovery.
like sax, theres an enemy in front of you.
you throw the bommerang at it, it hits it and flies back, past you, way way too far in the opposite direction before landing there.
so you run back there.
upon coming back, the mosnter which you had dealt like only 1 of 4 hits soi far has fully recovered or respawned.
rinse and repeat.
a bit easier whenyou have multiple boomerangs but due to the multiple monsters, not really easier then either.
also annoying thing:
one of those chasing monsters on a pretty small platform.
you throw the boomerang, hit the moster, but boomerang stuck in the ground directly under the monster.
well, good luck retrieving that without basically damage boosting into the monster.
so yeah, some things could use some fine tuning there.
especially put the boomerang back into the inventory if it happens to fly away pretty far from your location . and as said, somehow avoiding the boomerangs getting stuck in the ground beneat a monster.
I love your FeedBack i would try to fix those bugs and problems the problem is that the jam time was about to end before we can end the game so we try our best to just finish the game and add the boss sorry for those annoying things
love it
Nice concept But reaching checkpoint to retrieve boomerangs is punishing as enemies respawn back Still Nice game :)
Really fun game! Had trouble with getting stuck after losing boomerangs but otherwise great game.
you can get all your lost boomerangs at any checkpoint happy to hear that you have fun in our game
