Boomeroad is one of those games that you kinda constantly think about in a "I wish it was better" scenario. Like it's clearly working with something here, but it's just not fleshed out. It's really fun to create your own paths, the mechanics introduced later in the 2nd stage work well to help evolve gameplay, and it's fun to explore overall. Part of the problem is just the budget and time allotted here clearly don't do the game any favors. With it being a mess to navigate through, and nearly every place you go looking around, looking exactly like the area before it. This wouldn't be so much a problem if you just play the game to just zip through as fast as you can, but with a few collectables scattered here and there it's clear the game wants you to explore. Again the actual exploration is fun, but it's kinda like looking around an office building with everything so bland and samey really helping confuse the player in what would otherwise be a fun time. Add to the fact the game is not particularly long or challenging in a way that would get a player to come back means you are kinda one and done with it. It may be cheap as free, but it's really hard to argue to spend more time with this game than the bare minimum needed to beat it. Still fun with it's basics though.
