ABOUT THIS GAME:

The Aussie outback is fraught with danger, and today it's even more perilous than usual. Luckily, you're an expert with a boomerang and lasso, and it's up to you to help these aggressive critters come to their senses. Use your boomerang to defend yourself, and lasso up the spoils.

HOW TO PLAY:

- Use WASD or the arrow keys to move

- Hold down the left mouse button to begin aiming, click the right mouse button to cancel

- While aiming, move the mouse to draw a flight path for your boomerang

- Release left mouse button to the throw the boomerang along the drawn path

- If the path is a loop, you'll pull enemies together, and lasso up any drops which add to your final score

TIPS:

- You'll be able to tell whether your flight path is a loop by its color - blue means lasso!

- You can hit an enemy multiple times in a single throw by criss-crossing the flight path

- Use your lasso to bunch up enemies; this can help you get some distance

- If there are obstacles in your way, draw a path that goes around them - when deflected, the boomerang won't deal further hits

- You can do a quick throw by just clicking and releasing immediately
