A guide for getting all the achievements in Boomerang Fu.

Introduction

Boomerang Fu is a relatively simple couch co-op game. If you play it enough, you shouldn’t have trouble unlocking the majority of the achievements. However, if you want to fast-track unlocking achievements or are having trouble with some in particular, this guide is the guide for you.

General Tips

• For achievements that require the use of a particular powerup, you can customise the rules to only include that powerup, making it easier to pick up and use.
• Achievements unlock for all human players, so the more people you play with the more likely you are to unlock the achievements quicker. Achievements do not unlock for bots.

Achievements

Trash Compactor

Squishing several opponents with moving blocks

There are levels with mechanical switches that can be used to move blocks in the level. Use these traps to squish opponents and you’ll unlock this award at the end.

Rambo

Spent a lot of time hiding in the bushes

There are levels that have bushes that you can hide in. If you spend time hiding in these bushes, you’ll unlock this reward at the end.

Master Of Disguise

Mastered the disguise powerup

For this award, you need to use the disguise powerup a lot. To use the powerup, you have to stay still until you disguise yourself as a piece of the level scenery.

Vengeful Ghost

Killed an opponent after dying

This award requires that you kill a number of opponents after you have died. This can be done by throwing your boomerang, and then dying before it kills any opponents.

This becomes a bit easier with the explosive boomerang powerup, as they’re more likely to kill people in general making it easier to do so after you die.

Short Fuse

Regularly killed yourself with the explosive boomerang

Not much else to say other than the achievement description- after getting the explosive boomerang powerup, blow yourself up a lot.

Artful Dodger

Dodged a lot of boomerangs

Use the dodge action to dodge out of the way of enough boomerangs in a match and you’ll get this award.

Firestarter

Killed a lot of enemies with fire

After collecting the fire boomerang powerup, you want to throw your boomerang out and leave flame trails over the map. This award pops up if you kill enough opponents with the fire- which you’ll know as they turn into little toasty food items after dying.

Ice Breaker

Shattered a lot of frozen enemies

After collecting the ice boomerang powerup, you want to throw your boomerang out and leave ice trails over the map. Enemies that stand on the ice trails for too long will be frozen in ice, at which point you can run over and shatter them.

Who Needs Weapons?

Killed opponents while unarmed

To unlock this award, you need to kill a number of opponents while unarmed. You become unarmed by throwing your boomerang and having it not come back again- either because you’ve moved somewhere that the boomerang doesn’t have a clear return path to (behind a wall, etc.), or it got intercepted by an opponent slashing it.

Once you are unarmed, you need to kill some opponents. This can be by kicking them into the water as the easiest way.

Telekinetic Killer

Killed many opponents with the telekinesis powerup

For this award, you need to kill a number of opponents using the telekinesis powerup. The telekinesis powerup can be used by holding the throw button to toss your boomerang, at which point you’ll be able to control where it goes using the movement keys.

Took One For The Team

One of your “teammates” killed you

To get this award, you need to be playing in a team game, and your teammates need to have killed you enough to unlock this award at the end of the match. You’ll need to customise the rules and turn on friendly fire to be able to unlock this achievement.

If you’re struggling, you can have two human controlled characters on the same team using a controller and the keyboard to unlock it more easily- just have one of the characters kill the other.

Teleport Assa*sin

Telefragged an opponent

This award requires you to kill the opponent by teleporting on top of them. This requires picking up the teleport boomerang powerup, throwing and discarding the boomerang so it’s on the floor, luring an opponent to stand on the boomerang, and then teleporting to kill them.

If you’re struggling, you can have two human controlled characters achieve this more easily. Turn off all other powerups than the teleport boomerang and then set up the trap and have the other player fall straight into it.

Punctuality

Being on time to things

The most annoying achievement in the game. Whilst most of the other achievements will come with time, this one can be much more difficult to unlock without specifically striving for it, and the game doesn’t give you much to go on.

Basically, this requires you to not get any other awards at the end of the game- which depending on your playstyle you’ll always be likely to get something.

Some tips for avoiding common awards:

• Perform at least one melee and one boomerang kill, but not too many
• Perform at least one dodge, but not too many
• Don’t fall into water or off cliffs
• Don’t use any powerups
• Keep trying

Conclusion

That’s it- that’s everything you need to know to unlock all the achievements in Boomerang Fu. Shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours if you focus- it can take about that long to get them through just regular gameplay without focussing on them anyway- aside from that punctuality achievement.
