About Bamerang
Bamerang, the fast paced boomerang fighting game from Lululu Entertainment invites up to 4 players to fight for the favor of the mysterious green goddess on Nintendo Switch and Steam on April 22nd!
Jump right into the action thanks to the simple controls. Master the curved trajectory of the boomerangs to hit your opponents from unexpected angles, shooting them off the platform while evading their throws.
Fights take place on top of an organic tower that changes its form after every round, revealing obstacles to skillfully throw your boomerangs around and holes to throw your friends into. Get to know over 20 map variations to gain an advantage on your opponents!
A round of Bamerang is won by collecting enough of the golden points which continuously appear on the platform. Steal those precious points from your enemies by landing your boomerang throws and throwing them off the platform. But beware, the more points you have, the more you can lose, making it easy for your opponents to catch up.
At the end of every round the green goddess presents the current results. Win enough rounds for the platform to rise all the way into the galaxy for the well-deserved award ceremony with the goddess herself.
While Bamerang shines in intense 1v1 duels, you can gather up to four players to team up for a 2v2 or embrace the chaos of a frantic free-for-all.
Enjoy the vibrant pixel art in which the peculiar outlandish world of Bamerang is portrayed and get into the perfect boomerang throwing mood with the joyful soundtrack by composer Lucien Guy Montandon.
Bamerang will be available on Nintendo Switch and Steam. Besides English, it is localized to German, French, Italian, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Latin American Spanish, Thai, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
On Steam it will cost $4.99 USD and on the Nintendo Switch $6.99 USD. The game features local multiplayer for 2 to 4 players, but by using Steam’s Remote Play Together feature, PC players can play online.
History
Tim Bürge and Aaron Abt met in 2016 during their Game Design studies at the Zurich University of the Arts. Their very first module led to the creation of the prototype for Bamerang on which they would continue to work on and off for the next three years of their studies.
Bamerang won the SGDA Junior Game Award in 2017 and was showcased at various international events (Gamescom, A MAZE, FMX, Ludicious, EyeMyth and more). Tim and Aaron formed their collective “Lululu Entertainment'' (inspired by the “lululu” sounds the first few testers made whileplaying Bamerang) and continued the development of the prototype with the help of a grant from the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia in 2018.
After their graduation in 2019, they were eager to finish the development of Bamerang and set the goal to release their debut game on Nintendo Switch and Steam. They had the chance to be part of the mentorship program at the Swiss Game Hub and could benefit from invaluable coaching from experienced Swiss game professionals including Philomena Schwab, co-founder of Stray Fawn Studio.
Composer and sound designer Lucien Guy Montandon joined the project in late 2019. After a few months of fruitful collaboration the game not only received a wonderful soundtrack, but also a fitting SFX overhaul.
More than 4.5 years after Tim and Aaron created their first prototype, everything is in place and Bamerang launches April 22nd on Nintendo Switch and Steam!
With it’s newest addition, Leander Schneeberger, Lululu Entertainment is already working on a new, unannounced game.
