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.

Check out this work in progress shot of the Endless Wave mode that will be coming to you all in an upcoming free update!

Want to learn more?
We'll be doing a dev stream/AMA on our Twitch channel[twitch.tv] on Wednesday (September 8th) at 2pm Eastern.
Follow to be reminded when we're live ;) ;) ;)

Hello again! Welcome to our third patch. This one is extremely small, but comes with some good news. We fixed the Flight Simulator Achievement! Hope to see some more of y'all 100% the game!

In other news, we have a big announcement about future content coming tomorrow. We'll be posting it to both our twitter @videodang and our discord, so be sure to tune in!

Hi everyone! Per popular demand, and honestly, because we wanted to do it since day one, we've updated Boomerang X to support Steam Community Assets.

From now on, all Boomerang X players are eligible to receive and collect a set of 8 Steam trading cards and unlock five different badges, three profile backgrounds, and five fancy emoticons.

How to collect Steam Trading Cards?
Just play the game. It's that simple. Up to half of the card set is dropped through gameplay. You can get the rest of the set by trading with other players on the Community Market.

How to craft a badge?
Once you've collected a full set of cards, you can craft them into a game badge. Craft your badges by accessing the Badges tab on your Steam profile. There are five levels of the Regular badge to craft and one level of the Foil badge.

Unlock available emoticons and profile backgrounds during badge crafting. Happy hunting!

Hello all! This is our second update. This one is mostly focused on adding some quality-of-life features that folks have been asking for.

• Added an option to the Gameplay menu that skips the cutscene at the beginning of the game
  
• Added an option to the speedrun timer to display both the “continuous” and “single arena” timers at the same time
  
  • This is a new entry option for “Both”
• Added new keybindings to allow Scattershot & Thread to be activated on separate buttons
  
• Added an accessibility option to continue from the last reached wave after dying
  
• Added a button to delete New Game Plus progress

Cheers everyone! Thanks for playing.

Thanks to everybody who played Boomerang X in our first week! Thanks as well to everyone who provided feedback and bug reports. This is our first Boomerang X patch. It is a quick one, and we have more coming soon that will take a little longer to be finalized. In this update, we focused on three major categories: bugs, quality of life improvements, and a tiny bit of balance.

Bugs

• Fixed a stuttering issue that was mostly visible on high refresh rate monitors
  
  • Special thanks for Jinglebuns and hologram_sam for their footage and help
• Fixed issue that sometimes prevented the door after the Composers Garden from opening
  
• Made portals consistently face you towards the next area when exiting, even if you jump in backwards
  
• Fixed floating lumberer spawn points in Resonance Engine
  
• Reset abilities upon death in tutorial arenas (Cartography Room, Composer’s Garden)

Quality of Life

• Pausing the game no longer pauses the speedrun timer
  
• Added a dot to the speedrun timer that changes color depending on the current difficulty setting
  
• Made some accessibility options change the color of the speedrun timer
  
• Breaking the level start crystal now heals all shields
  
  • Entering the arena already did this, but sometimes people would take environmental damage before starting the level.
• Made the exit at top of the stairs in the Resonance Engine more visible
  
• Support for dualsense gyroscope (PS5 Controller)

Balance

• Made the gem on the frog’s belly easier to hit
  
• The giant moth’s babies that protect it are now slightly faster
  
  • This will actually make it easier, because they will be closer to it instead of getting so spread out.
• The giant moths now wait slightly longer before dropping their first bomb
  
• Made eagles turn more slowly when hovering
  
• Made eagles breathe fire in a more consistently forward direction when hovering
  
• Lowered fly spawn points in tutorial arenas (Cartography Room, Composer’s Garden)
  
• Goo floors now activate Blaze without damaging you
  
• Moved gems in Needle tutorial to make it harder to complete without using Needle
  
  • We saw too many people walk through without doing the tutorial.
• Retimed recall tutorial slightly
  
  • Made it a little more strict, and require you to actually recall the boomerang to get through this tutorial

Enjoy!

It's out. We made it. This is the spot which the X marks.

For two years, we have been stuffing so much attention, effort, and weird trash into this game that it's a little disorienting to be out of trash to give. Boomerang X is the first commercial game coming out of our studio, and we're incredibly excited for everyone to finally see what we've been up to for so long.

As always, we'll be on the lookout for feedback and bug reports, so let us know if you see anything suspicious. Give Tepan 100 simultaneous high-fives for us!

Thank you all so much,
- DANG!
