Playing by myself wasn't really great.  Needed sound, even crappy sound would have been great but I understand how time can get away.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Conceptually I like what I saw though!"},{"author_name":"Reyn","author_uid":"25581","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 8:37pm","epoch":1461357120,"text":"I'm trying to figure out what determines the boomerang movement. It looks like it is being attracted by the players. Is it attracted to one shape and not the other?Well done on your first ludum dare, it only gets better from here :)"},{"author_name":"Hempuli","author_uid":"491","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 10:03pm","epoch":1461448680,"text":"Very interesting boomerang physics! I had hard time trying to get it to go where I wanted, though, and it was hard to say how the shapeshifting affected the gameplay.
