A fun and well implemented challenge which, despite the distinct lack of actual boomers, always comes back to you.
Runs are monotonous and sometimes end abruptly because there are no I frames. There is not enough meta progression to make future runs more fun after the first 5. When you need a heal, you won't find it, but you can find 3 coins to add to your 10,000 with nothing to buy. The only hard enemy in the game is your own axe. My only pros are the sprites, and that I enjoyed the first 2 hours which is good value for the money.
A very difficult yet fun little action bh roguelike that is incredibly satisfying to succeed in. The core boomerang mechanic just works so well and allows for the gameplay to almost never get stale despite not having as much variation between runs as some other roguelikes.

well, its definitely fun if you know which upgrades to take, although there are NO I-FRAMES for some reason, and when you take damage and miss your axe, congrats, you take another damage. this feels more like a miniature hardcore game, but not a bad one. bird boss is autistic i hate him
This game has been great so far, but it is hard. I think the difficulty is probably my favorite thing about it though, check it out if you like a challenge! I really like the main mechanic of bouncing your axe back to fight, it's a fresh idea. At least, I haven't seen any games quite like this. Getting used to a new way to fight is fun, and after a while you won't be hitting yourself all that much ha. I've seen a little of what they mean by item synergies now, still trying to find more but the ones I've found are cool and can make a huge difference in the run. I beat the first 2 bosses, haven't gotten past what I'm guessing is a midboss next level yet (only saw it once so far). Right now I see 0% have the achievement for beating the last boss, I want to keep going and see if I can bring that up a little but gotta take a break for tonight I think. Anyway if you're on the fence about it, I'd say give it a shot! Really good deal right now too
Its hard, just like I like my Roguelikes, I hope it gets more content tho :P
A fun if short rougelike. Worth a few $
Consiglierei il gioco? Assolutamente si Consiglierei il gioco a chi vuole approcciare il mondo dello stile rogue, e quindi ancora principiante? No, non subito. Il gioco è abbastanza complicato, ha una meccanica particolare, oltre a schivare i colpi bisogna stare attenti anche alla nostra arma, in quanto letale se non colpita nel momento giusto. Ho apprezzato il miglioramento continuo tramite power-up, passive da poter acquistare per potenziarsi nella lobby, nemici e boss molto simpatici e carucci. Per 1.99 ne vale ASSOLUTAMENTE la pena. Consigliatissimo.
Good game
EN Hard game, Challenger, but very cool. I suffered a lot to finish it. It's cheap and fun. There's some problems that happens sometimes that mess with players. I recommend if you want to challenge yourself. PS: There's some informations in "discussions" on steam, so if you want to know more about the combination of powers look there. :-) PT-BR Jogo difícil, desafiador, mas muito legal. Sofri pra zerar. Mas dá pra aproveitar legal e é baratinho. Pena que falta mais informação do jogo e tem uns pequenos problemas que as vezes confunde o player, Mas recomendo se você quer desafiar a si. OBS: Há combinações de habilidades, caso queira saber mais, pode ir na discussão da comunidade. ;-)
