Boomerang hitbox is a little wonky. Unclear of what to hit to kill the animals. Though when everything is clear, the game is overall fun and interesting.
Great work on the boomerang weapon; liked the style of art too.
A nice, fun little game! It' brutally hard, though.
The graphics were extremely well done, good job! Animation looked fluid and natural.
Gameplay was quite nice, though I'm not so fond of the floaty feel to stopping and turning.
Audio could use some work, there's only a small collection of effects.
Overall, enjoyed playing and would play again :)
I like the art, I kept losing my boomerang. Maybe some sort of waypoint for it would help.
I liked it! Especially liked the realistic try on boomerang trajectories ;) I can tell you've thrown one before!
Gameplay's a tad on the hard side, and I don't see why you wouldn't always want to sprint, but its Ludum Dare, so I don't care! Hey that rhymes. Or does it? ...I don't know xD
Hey, I'm releasing a v 1.2, there are a couple changes you'll like I guess.
Thanks for playing this, folks!!!
I mean 1.1!
Version 1.1 changelog
=====================
- The map is now 3x bigger
- Bulls spawn interval is a bit higher, getting shorter with level progression
- The shaman now says "But you only get one weapon!" so it's clearer.
- A waypoint is shown when the weapon is offscreen.
- More random bushes!
- Added random rocks so you'll bet irritated with your weapon being stuck (c'mon, the map is bigger now!)
- Added a little nice effect when the bulls magically turn into a beef (die).
I agree with the comments that it's a bit too hard, but it was fun to throw the boomerang around! Found myself holding shift almost the entire time, wishing I was a bit more nimble given how hard it was.
Very difficult to aim, bulss taking 3 hits too kill seems like a bit much. I fell happy that I killed one at least. Like the graphic in this game.
tobbez - that's related to the boomerang strenght. I'll add stronger weapons such as a javelin, but which will be harder to retrieve.
Very hard too aim, it would've needed a bit more balancing and could've been loads more fun. Still a pretty solid concept with good boomerang mechanics.
Not a bad idea, but character movement feels a little sluggish.
Looks great. Hard to make much progress! The collision detection could be worked out a bit. Our game has some collision issues too (we also used GMS)
Really nice graphics! I included this game in part 8 of my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/JK9Dz3oR_Xs

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Game is a bit too hard, but I love the graphics and concept. Well done!
