Once youвЂ™re rolling youвЂ™ll be dashing, floating in slow-mo, and picking off enemies who get increasingly challenging like a proвЂ¦ though each new and tougher variant you may need to puzzle over before understanding how to take them out.

Quickly acquiring the said boomerang, which I prefer to imagine as the legendary Glaive from the movie Krull (yes, it has one less prong and looks different, but this is my Colwyn fantasy!) youвЂ™ll very consistently be given some new move or technique and then a series of trials that will push you to show mastery of that new skill. With indie titles IвЂ™m always tickled when I encounter something just a bit different that feels fresh and challenging, and for me Boomerang X With indie titles IвЂ™m always tickled when I encounter something just a bit different that feels fresh and challenging, and for me Boomerang X (though perhaps a bit on the short side overall) fits nicely into that groove.
