"Local multiplayer chaos" has become the industry buzz word.
This is probably the WORST time to release a game like this because it's against the law to get together and play.
Edit: I live in the US!
Am I the only one who reads this game title as "Boomerang F*ck You"?
This looks lovely, I'll keep an eye on it!
@LatsaSpege
Not "against the law"
I'd like to see a review this game (Cough!! Cough! )
@Mountain_Man You're no alone. The games all-caps title doesn't help the situation.
I need this in my life right now!
I love this style of game... I have the awesome towerfall.. and bought killer queen black..
@LatsaSpege US =/= the world. There are plenty of countries where small gatherings aren't discouraged anymore. So it's perfectly fine in a country like New Zealand.
Looks simple and fun! I will definitely be checking this out.
Kind of curious how 6 players works. Hoping my GameCube adapter works with this like it does for Overcooked.
This looks way better than I was expecting from the article thumbnail!
@LatsaSpege - "Illegal."
Anywho, I don't see a fruit boomerang user in Smash yet, ssooo....
Boomerang Fu? As in Kung Fu? Hm, as a Kung Fu practitioner myself, I fully endorse this product.
This looks fantastic. And a potentially good substitute for a lack of Fall Guys on Switch. A review would be nice.
@LatsaSpege it's not against the law here in Ireland where I've had a good few local game nights recently. I'm sure it's the same in many other countries.
@Mountain_Man lmao dude (:
