Nintendo consoles have always been host to some stellar multiplayer titles: the Mario Kart series, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Mario Sports games...the list
All in all, Boomerang Fu is undeniably fun for short periods of time. The characters, levels, and music is cute, the surprisingly violent killing is satisfying, and it is definitely worth a laugh or two. It put me in a good mood. I would only struggle to recommend it because of its lack of online play. Cranky Watermelon wants to bring people together, so the timing of this release is the exact opposite of ideal, and most gaming households won’t have enough controllers or players to make up for that.
The exciting music and clean visuals of Boomerang Fu add to the game, especially the freezeframe and slowdown that occurs when you get a kill. The spill effects that come with kills (depending on what food you are) are a nice touch as well, as they add some carnage to the overall cutesy look.
All-in-all, Boomerang Fu is a great little party piece. It’s heaps of fun in short bursts, the sprites are adorable, and the mechanics are, for the most part, well-crafted. While there’s nothing inherently bad about the game, it feels a little light on content. I’d really like to see more development from Cranky Watermelon, especially to introduce proper online multiplayer for players – without having to go through the awkward and inconsistent rigmarole of Steam Remote Play. All that being said, for the money you pay, Boomerang Fu is a great way to put a smile on your face (if you’ve got the people to play it with).
