Boomerang Betty

As the old saying goes: the road to hell is paved with robots and spikes and stuff. And, to Boomerang Betty, that sounds like her kind of fun! Armed with her ancient magic boomerang, she's off to adventure. Guide her through 8 intense platforming levels, filled with traps, pits, and all kinds of hazards.

HOW TO PLAY

If playing with a keyboard use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys run. Press X to throw your boomerang in the direction you are facing, or hold the UP or DOWN arrow keys to throw the boomerang up or down. Press Z to jump. Press P for menu. Controllers are supported in the downloaded version, but might not work in the web player. 

Throw the boomerang at enemies to destroy them.
Not all enemies are destructable at all times and
some not at all.

After having thrown the boomerang, press throw
again to teleport Betty to the boomerang's
location. Betty must then hold the boomerang while
touching the ground to regain her teleportation power.

Jump at a wall, then press jump again to make 
Betty perform a wall jump.

Combine different actions to perform various
advanced moves.

Losing is learning. Many level sections can be beaten in multiple ways. If you're having difficulty with a particular section, try a different approach. And remember: a high death count is as much of a badge of honor as a low one.
