Feedback + questions for devs
Loving the game so far! Been playing with friends over parsec.

----------

General stuff:
-In FFA, if a player dies while their boomerang has been thrown, it turns grey and is able to be picked up by another player and used like the extra boomerang powerup. Unsure if this is intentional, but this is a good mechanic. Could possibly be related to a couple bugs mentioned later.

-Whenever you grab a new powerup but already have 3, your oldest powerup disappears. Sometimes thats hard to keep track of so maybe flash a player's current powerups on pickup, just to let them know what they have?

-Sometimes you can get 4 powerups at once instead of 3. This is okay but we're unsure which powerups are/aren't restricted like this. What causes a 4th to be allowed? Or is this a bug?

-Possibility for a stage select/custom stage list, similar to custom powerups?

-Potential new game modes? All 3 modes so far are great! Maybe something where everyone has the same powerup(s), and it changes each round?

-Potential new characters? Love the characters so far but having new ones occasionally would be nice! My friends mentioned things like cheese, hotdog, tomato, etc.

-Third team option for team mode for 2v2v2? Teams in golden boomerang?

-Any possibility of online multiplayer, at least on steam? We've been using parsec for online couch co-op, but sometimes the connection is unstable.

-Is there an official game discord server?

----------

Bugs:
-2 players grabbed an item on the same frame and the powerup was given to both of them. Could probably be reproduced.

-Occasionally, the bamboozle status will come from a powerup book despite it being disabled. Unsure if this happens with other powerups.

-In team mode, if a player has grabbed a boomerang belonging to a dead player, and they respawn, the dead player does not get their boomerang back. Consistently reproduced.

-Similar to the team mode bug, an interaction with the multi and teleport powerups caused a player to lose their boomerang while alive. Could not reproduce.
-Kicking a player while unarmed causes them to drop their boomerang and allows any player to pick it up. If the player you kick has the multi powerup, they drop nothing and are defenseless for the rest of the round.

Thanks for reading!!

Teams in golden boomerang would be great!

Also to add, maybe a handicap mode to give advantages for weaker players, eg. maybe start with shield

I devs, I would suggest you to add the information that if you hold the Y button the boomerang returns to you like the Mjolnir 'cause I discovered it by accident! It's a very important information that should be displayed on the controls card that shows before the first match.

This thing with the shield already happens! It is the auto balance modifier.
