    When we say a game is "too short" it sometimes means that we liked the game and would simply like more of it, please and thank you. In the case of Boomerang X, the game genuinely is too short. I like it, but it's as unsatisfying as hearing someone stop speaking mid-sente

    The main campaign of this game takes a little over an hour. However, the gameplay is so smooth and so addicting that I've replayed the campaign several times (and new game+) in order to get all the achievements and stuff. This game also has five endless modes, offering even more reasons to keep playing.

    I personally bought this game when it was on sale for $12, but if you love games like fast-paced action games like Hotline Miami, this game is well worth the price.

    Equipped with one simple tool offering a surprisingly wide array of capabilities, I was thrown into a maelstrom of crazy fast action and overwhelmed by every wave of enemies. Boomerang X is so addictive I couldn’t put it down. Luckily it offers a lot of flexible options to make the game easier, so you can have fun with it even if you didn’t grow eyes on the back of your head and never developed superhuman reflexes.

    I understand that the last arena is supposed to be a quote-unquote boss fight, but I feel the drastic shift will sucker punch players right at the end of the game. Don’t get me wrong though, I enjoyed Boomerang X. Enemy designs were clever and paired well with the abilities available, and even though the plot was thin, there was just enough to keep me curious right up until the end.

    Developer Dang smartly refuses to complicate things, instead relying on its diverse menagerie and devious level designs to keep you on your toes. [Issue#362, p.121]
