Boomerang Fu News

Hey foodie friends!

If you've enjoyed pulverizing your pals in Boomerang Fu this year, we'd love your vote in the "Better With Friends" category in the 2020 Steam Awards.

Thank you for making Boomerang Fu's launch such a success this year. The game keeps getting better and better thanks to all the suggestions and help we've had from the community, and we can't wait to share more exciting updates with you all soon.

Thanks from the Cranky Watermelon team!

To celebrate The Fighting Game Sale we'll be pulverizing our pals in Boomerang Fu and answering your questions.

Boomerang Fu is 20% off during The Steam Fighting Game Sale, so now is the perfect time to try out our frantic physics party game. Join a crew of your favorite foods as you grill, chill and spill your enemies. Discover ridiculous power-ups and stack them together in deadly combinations to become the ultimate Boomerang Fu master.

We've been hard at work fixing bugs and making everything run a little faster behind the scenes. This is particularly good news if you like to play Boomerang Fu on a potato computer or a 1 million hertz monitor.

Thanks for a fantastic launch week, everyone! We're beyond excited that so many people have enjoyed slicing and dicing their friends with boomerangs already. We got some great feedback from the Boomerang Fu community, so here's a whole bunch of new options and languages by popular demand!



[h2]NEW OPTIONS:[/h2]

• Added Key Bindings menu to Options to let you configure custom keys. If you hate WASD + JKL, you’ll LOVE this!
  
• Added an option to the Team Up menu to make all bots join Team Chill. Recreate your favourite Terminator movies by fighting a team of 5 hard mode bots all by yourself!
  
• Added "disable slow mo" to Options menu. A lot of people requested this and I can only assume they thought Boomerang Fu wasn’t fast-paced enough.
  
• Moved "save replay" folder from Desktop to My Documents due to popular demand. Apparently I’m the only one who mainly uses their Desktop as a gif storage facility. Who knew!
  

[h2]NEW LANGUAGES:[/h2]
Added fan translations for:

Brazilian Portuguese
Turkish
Polish

Many thanks to our wonderful Discord community translators for their efforts!



[h2]BALANCE TWEAKS:[/h2]

• Power-ups spawn 20% less often per power-up already collected. This is to avoid big power-up stacks in the early game.
  
• Power-ups spawn less often if fewer power-ups are enabled in Custom power-ups. This is to avoid everyone having the exact same stack early in the game.
  
• Reduced the revive time in Team Up mode so it's a little easier to resurrect your fallen comrades
  
• Players can now only steal a boomerang off a dead teammate’s body if the dead body is holding two boomerangs. This is to prevent you accidentally disarming your teammate while you're reviving them.
  
• Rotated Big Island level a little to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
  

[h2]BUG FIXES:[/h2]

• Fixed the ironically broken “Ice Breaker” match award and achievement
  
• Disabling Bamboozled power-up in custom power-ups menu actually disables it now
  
• Fixed custom power-up selection getting mixed up in Golden Boomerang mode
  
• Removed Dash Through Walls power-up in Golden Boomerang mode
  
• Fixed players with Dash Through Walls be able to hide in garden beds in Pier and Temple levels
  
• Fixed rare cases where one power-up could be collected by two people at once
  
• Fixed z-fighting when milk and coffee get spilled in the same place. We fight with Boomerangs, not Zs.
  
• D-pad on dual grip Joycons and Switch Pro Controller can now navigate the Lobby
  
• Players with disconnected controllers now get kicked from the lobby
