About the Game

"It axes and comes backses."

Boomeraxe is a bullet hell dungeon crawler with a unique core mechanic: Your only weapon hurts you too.

Take control of The G'Knight as you dare to escape the cold reaches of Icestralia—a very real place with even realer consequences.

Stuff you will find here:

Blistering action
Synergistic powerups
Boss battles
Meta progression
Questionable zoology
Costs about as much as a king-size candy bar (tastes worse)

Stuff you won't find here:

Backtracking through rooms you've already cleared
Obligatory narrative elements
Not fun until you have a good build
Exorbitant pricing

Glory awaits! But so does death. Your call.

With music by Josh Whelchel!
