With combined movement and mouse positioning you can keep it in the air indefinably and aim it at targets.\r\r@ hazzen\rI am crap at music, and I was not going to use a Justin Bieber song.\rYou get +100 points for every Zombiber you chain in one throw, I added particle effects to indicate this.\r\r@ Will Edwards\rI had a 4 bladed plastic boomerang when I was a kid.

Frequently I'd throw the boomerang and have it seemingly pass through a target.
