      Gameplay



      In Boomerang Fu, players control food-themed characters armed with boomerangs. Players can either throw the boomerangs or use them as melee weapons. Thrown boomerangs will fall to the floor if it hits an object. Dropped boomerangs can be recalled by the player. Each character can only be hit once unless the player that got hit has the Shield powerup. The game has over 30 different arenas. To earn a point, the player or players have to be the last one standing or you can set it to earn a point for every kill. It can be played in single-player against AI-controlled opponents. The game also supports local multiplayer, allowing up to six players per match. If you get out of the dotted lines for a while, your character dies.


      Powerups


      Power-ups can be picked up during matches by touching blue books, and provide permanent upgrades for as long as the match lasts. There is a way to change it so that losing players get the shield powerup. It is also possible to set how fast blue books appear. All power-ups can be stacked except for fire and ice, which cannot stack with each other. You can have up to three power-ups at one time. If you pick up a fourth power-up, you will lose one of the others that you had (this does not count single-use power-ups such as battle royal or bamboozled).

      There are four modes in Boomerang Fu. Only one is available in the demo.
