Watch out for the return

Boomerang Chang asks you to prove your boomerang throwing skills, quickly

Michel Gerard, creator of the challenging and really rather good 10 More Bullets, has released Boomerang Chang on Android.

It's yet another of his browser games ported to mobile, and it works pretty well.

You play as Chang, who has been defending himself at the top of Little Ninja Hill for decades, apparently. Poor guy.

You step in as he's apparently getting a bit tired. So you instruct him when to jump and throw his boomerang to avoid being struck off from his high point by incoming enemies.

What works well in Boomerang Chang is the need to make use of the boomerang's mid-air return. Chang throws it to the right to hit enemies on that side - that's simple enough.

But to hit enemies approaching from the left you have to throw it to the right and then wait for it to swing back round, as boomerangs do.

Your other option is to jump over the enemy's head as it tries to collide from the left-side, to then hit it on the right side.

It's these split-second decisions that require so much concentration if you want to keep Chang going. Not to mention that you also need to make sure Chang isn't hit by his own boomerangs (they kill him instantly).

If you fancy testing your skills in quick blasts then download Boomerang Chang for free on Google Play.
