New Powerup: Drill Boomerang
Cranky Watermelon
Just when you thought Boomerang Fu was dead, we're back with another major update! Thanks to our community for all of your suggestions, feature requests and bug reports. It's been fun to dive back into Boomerang Fu again to add a few of your great ideas into the game.
NEW POWERUP: DRILL BOOMERANG
We added a much-requested new powerup: Drill Boomerang. The Drill Boomerang is pretty self-explanatory: not only does it let you surprise your enemies by drilling through solid objects, but your boomerangs no longer bounce or get dropped, which makes throwing and catching them feel pretty different to normal boomerangs. We can't wait to see what kind of messed-up combinations you can make with all of the other powerups.
NEW MODIFIER: LIVES PER MAP
In Free For All mode, if you want to play on each map a bit longer, you can now have 3 or 5 lives instead of the classic "one hit kills" single life. Each time you die, you'll respawn somewhere else on the map until you run out of lives. Try using the "lives for map" modifier with the two different victory conditions, it can change the feel of the game quite a lot!
