RETRIEVAL - a First Person Boomerang Puzzler
You Only Get One projectile, and you'll need it to help you solve puzzles, so make sure you retrieve it once you've thrown it!
HOW TO PLAY:
WASD to move
Mouse to look
Space to jump
Left click to interact
Right click to throw / retrieve your boomerang (when you get it).
NOTES:
The game is still quite buggy and super rough. But I hope you see the potential with this kind of idea. There were so many puzzle ideas I had, but alas most of my time was spent on simply getting the boomerang to even throw correctly!
Other ideas that I would have loved to flesh out:
-Player changing gravity, so you can walk on walls and the ceiling! This would go so well with the level and puzzle design.
-Dark levels. Use the boomerang as a light source.
-Using the boomerang as a stepping stone.
-Using the boomerang to help you retrieve items.
-More puzzles, basically.

Updated dead links (dropbox decided to not allow public downloading)
