Evaluation

Boomerang X launched on July 8, 2021 as DANG!'s first commercial release. Shortly after launch, the developer shipped two feature patches (July 20 and August 16, 2021) addressing bugs and quality-of-life improvements. They then announced and delivered one meaningful post-launch content update: the Endless Update on October 21, 2021, which added a new map (Red Garden), an endless wave mode with online leaderboards, and new achievements — all for free. This was the only major content addition to the game after launch. Following that, the developer issued a driver compatibility fix on October 18, 2022, and updated the free demo on November 29, 2022 to cover the first third of the game. There have been no developer communications since November 29, 2022, and no further content has been announced or shipped. The single DLC listed is the game's soundtrack, which was released on launch day. No unreleased DLC exists, no roadmap or future content has been announced, and the studio has not posted any updates in over three years. The game appears to have concluded its post-launch content cycle with the Endless Update in October 2021, with the 2022 posts being maintenance and demo work rather than new content commitments.

About this game

We've recently updated our demo — the first third of the game is now available for free! Once you're done, you can continue where you left off in the full game.

Carving through hordes of horrors isn’t the only thing your boomerang is good for: once thrown, you can slingshot directly to it, preserving momentum and launching yourself through the air. Slow down time and use well-aimed throws to get around, above, and behind your foes. Speed is everything, and only the nimblest boomerang-er will survive…

Fight otherworldly forces and look cool doing it. Impress the boomerang with stylish tricks and it’ll grant you strange powers to let you defeat the forces of the depths with greater ease. Kaspidae smiles upon you and your killer moves…

They creep and crawl from crevices, swoop and dive from the treetops, and spray nasty bile at you from all angles. Keep your wits about you — nowhere is safe. Whatever you do, don’t stand still, or you’ll surely be consumed...

Fight your way through the bowels of a ruined civilization and stop the nightmares from spreading to the rest of your world. Something lurks deep underneath these ruined halls, spewing corruption… can you defeat whatever it is? And even if you can… will that really be the end?
