Boomeroad is a demo developed as part of Bandai Namco's training program. While it doesn't deliver much, its core concept could be really enjoyable, if fully developed.

The core issue I have is the movement speed, it's super slow, they even give you ability to walk by pressing shift, which is completely useless Instead of allowing you to sprint. This also affects jumping where there is almost never a reason to jump, as you cant really jump far.

Because of this, you will mainly be using rails that you spawn, on which you can grind, which is cool, but the game doesn't give you full control over the rails, and it feels little bit janky.

I could see the full release as a blend between Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Neon White. I am not sure if I recommend it, its a cool premise but there isn't really much to it.

If they address these 2 issues a full release could be really good though. And overall we definitely need more movement games like this.
