This was great! The overall polish is awesome (graphics + sound) and I enjoyed the boomerang mechanic. I found it a little awkward to catch the boomerang with F, since my left hand was already responsible for WASD to move the player (I think catching with right-click would work?) but other than that I liked this a lot, well done! Here's my playthrough.

Lovely game, certainly immersive and rather addictive, lol, the F key felt a bit weird at first but got used to it I guess, also I just realized I could've used dash...
Protecting all eggs seems impossible, so I just focused on one and it felt like it could be possible to just go on forever, until you get bored, so maybe enemy speed could increase as score increases? Or their resistance to the boomerang? Also not sure if diagonal movement is normalized, it seemed like I could move slightly faster diagonally as opposed to horizontally or vertically.
On dev side: I get this warning "The size and depth of game_surface and window don't match!"

Eggsterthe game looks perfect it is a bit too hard but I am not rating that I would say this is one of the best
one thing I would change in my opinion the cover image would look better if it had a title on it
another thing that has no relevance to the rating it is pretty noticeable that at least one of you is an artist or a really good at pixel art
It's great game hope I see more games like this

feed the blobNice game. the art, the camera, the code and the Idea are all perfect. But I'm going to have to give you a 2 star in Game Feel. it's way too difficult, the player has to deal with 4 enemies stealing the eggs and splitting in different directions before he knows how to handle one of them.
My suggestions:
- add a tutorial text surface at the start of the game
- make the game easy in the start, and then gradually increase the difficulty.
- add a feature that allows the player to throw the boomerang while dashing. this results in a better experience

I get this when running your project. I'm not sure why but it seems the depth of the dest surface is not the same on my machine or something?

Stylish Slasher: Speed Run EditionI'm sorry that our game didn't run.
We have tested our game on Mac and Windows machines and it runs without crashing.
I haven't had experience with Linux before so I'm not sure how to fix that error. Maybe you could try hardcoding values for the WINDOW_WIDTH and WINDOW_HEIGHT variables in the setup.py file rather than it being based of your monitor size?
