I feel what's really missing from this game is that the boomerangs do fly through the enemies, potentially even outright destroying them on the spot. In my opinion this would really boost the game up to "destroyer against hordes of enemies" satisfaction levels.

Loved your game man, It's really really fun
I hate the birds haha so hard to hit then haha,
Congratulations for the game, I enjoyed a lot
The game had a beautiful pixel art style and quite satisfying game mechanics. Unfortunately, I was commonly being cornered by enemies which felt unfair and hitting the enemy did not really feel rewarding. Other than that, a really great submission and something I'd definitely play in my freetime!
The mechanic of the boomerang is nice but didn't feel that rewarded when hitting the enemy, especially if i had to move around the map a lot to collect the boomerang again. The theme wasn't really there but the gameplay was smooth.
The game concept is unique and intriguing. The theme was very obvious in the (quite frustrating yet occasionally satisfying) bouncing of the boomerang. Good job!
Really cool concept. I love the pixel art and the controls are a good challenge.
One thing that I really really loved was the UI you implemented to find your boomerangs once they had fallen to the floor - the cyan and red arrow. So small but so effective.
