This game is sick. It is essentially a series of arena's where you face waves of enemies with just your boomerang. You only have to kill a handful of the enemies though so you get the fun of facing a horde of enemies without the tedium of killing them all. What makes the game great though is the mobility you get. You quickly get the abilities to jump to your boomerang and slow down time which allows you to practically fly. It's stupidly fun and satisfying to fly across the room to get behind an enemy and hit their weak point using the time slow. The enemy variety and arena variety is also quite good notably.

I wanted to give the game 4 stars, but their are a couple issues with the switch version. The first problem is that the camera controls on pad feel quite rough. It feels like I don't quite have the precision I want. The gyroscope controls do alleviate this issue though. The second problem I had was that the game crashed on me TWICE at the same exact moment during the final boss. I didn't attempt third time after that, so maybe it was a coincidence, but fool me twice ya know. I imagine these problem aren't really a thing on the PC version though.
