Or else she’ll pick you up and shake you
Bameranghas the best trailer of any game this year so far. It’s a local multiplayer game about tiny people battling on top of a mountain with boomerangs in order to please a giant green goddess who will shake them if they fall. It’s out today.
The trailer is 53 perfect seconds:

I love the illustrations at the start that set up the dynamic. I love the echoing drum beats. I love those big hands.
There also seem to be all the elements of a strong local multiplayer game on display, too. If you reverse engineered a classic of the form, such asNidhogg, I think you’d identify three core elements.
First, a weapon that’s powerful but somewhat unpredictable, so you get near misses and unlikely strikes. That’s here in those boomerangs, which arc around arenas to strike enemies behind cover and on the rebound. Ideally you want to feel good when you hit an opponent, and laugh when you get hit.
Although it has no native online multiplayer, it does support Steam’s Remote Play feature that lets you play local multiplayer games over the internet. If that sounds like your thing,check out Bamerang on Steam here.
