Boomerang X News

The New York-based indie studio Dang is closing after releasing only one game, but what a game. The hyper-fast and movement-focused Boomerang X released in 2021 and was notable among other things for supporting an experimental type of gyro controller, the Flick Stick, as well as mouse-and-keyboard, so that players could whizz its deadly shuriken-boomerang around in the fanciest of patterns.

We've just updated our demo! It now includes the first four arenas (about a third of the whole game!). Once you've completed the demo, your progress will be available in the full game, so you can seamlessly continue your journey into the mysterious depths of the deserted island...

Enjoy!

This is a quick patch to fix some graphical issues caused by the latest graphics driver for Nvidia cards. Thanks to everyone who reported this bug!

HELLO! It's nearly been one year of Boomerang X, and we're going host an anniversary party on July 8th! We're challenging people to design a new enemy for Boomerang X in a fan art competition (just for fun -- we're not planning on adding any new enemies to the game)! Bust out some drawing schematics and protractors and show us your best designs and drawings! You can submit on twitter or instagram using the #BoomerangXBirthday hashtag, or directly to the itch link below. We're really excited to see what y'all come up with!

Thanks for a lovely year!

Hey, Boomerangers!

We have some spicy, spicy news for you - as you already know, we've been hard at work putting together a new map with an endless wave mode. The work is done, and you can hurl yourself around and battle a never-ending onslaught of old faces and enhanced enemies in the mysterious and new RED GARDEN map, a place that feels different from the worlds you've crossed before.

Within the Endless Run Mode lie a variety of categories, changing your shield supply and what powers ups you have access to. Depending on your choice of these categories, you can make the game more challenging, more difficult, or just change the flavor of your run. You can even make custom categories, too, Want no shields and use only comet? You got it, BUT... always beware of hubris.

This latest update allows you to see where you rank amongst your fellow warriors from other worlds thanks to our new Endless Run Online Leaderboard. We've also added a handful of achievements for the Endless Run Mode specifically, for all you completionists out there.

Jump in right now and show us what you got.
