Ranger the dingo leaping to catch a boomerang

How to play

Aim. Throw. Catch.

Every trail is a little field with gold stars scattered around it. One good throw can sweep several of them in a single loop.

1. Aim

Drag the stick to pick a direction and power. A line of dots shows the whole flight in advance, and the arc button flips the loop to curl left or right.

2. Throw

Tap Throw and watch the boomerang loop out and come home. It flies the same way every time, so a throw that works once always works.

3. Catch

Collect every star to clear the trail. Rocks, thorns and the edge of the field end a throw early, so plan the path around them.

On par

Clear the trail within the par number of throws.

Par + 1

One extra throw still earns two stars.

Par + 2

The last throw you have. Make it count.

Five regions

Ten trails in every region

Follow the paw-print map across the Outback. Clear the last trail of a region to open the next one, and replay any trail to chase three stars. 150 stars in total.

Trails 1–10

Red Desert

Red rock, dry creeks and spinifex. Learn the throw, then step on paw stones to open log gates, cut vines and steer clear of thorn bushes.

New: Paw stones, vines & thorns

Trails 11–20

Gum Tree Forest

Tall gum trees and shady trails. Wind zones push the boomerang along their arrows, so a loop can bend wider or tighter than you aimed.

New: Wind zones

Trails 21–30

Lagoon Shore

Warm sand and blue water. Quartz rocks reflect the boomerang like a mirror, so bank shots reach stars hiding behind cover.

New: Quartz rocks

Trails 31–40

Galah Ridge

Windmills and open plains. Flocks of galahs take off as you throw and bounce the boomerang softly off course.

New: Bird flocks

Trails 41–50

Sunset Plateau

The last stretch under an orange sky. Timed paw stones switch back after a moment, and everything you have learned comes together.

New: Timed paw stones

On the trail

Things you’ll meet out there

Each object follows simple, honest rules. Learn what it does to the boomerang and use it to your advantage.

Gold star

Fly through every star on the field to clear the trail.

Paw stone

Hit it with the boomerang to open the log gate it is linked to.

Log gate

Blocks the way until its paw stone is pressed.

Vine

Cut it with a throw to drop what it holds or clear the path.

Thorn bush

Touch it and the boomerang is lost. That throw is gone.

Quartz rock

Reflects the boomerang like a mirror. Great for bank shots.

Wind zone

Pushes the boomerang in the arrow’s direction while it is inside.

Bird flock

Galahs lift off when you throw and nudge the boomerang aside.

Rocks

Solid cover. A boomerang that hits rock drops to the ground.

Every day

Daily Trail

A brand-new trail waits at camp every day. Clear it to keep the campfire burning and grow your streak, with week dots on the camp card to show your run. Keep it going for 7 days in a row to earn the Campfire Regular badge.

Walkabout

After Trail 10 the Walkabout opens: an endless run of fresh trails. You start with a bag of 5 throws, get 2 more for every trail you clear and 1 extra when you clear it on par. How far can Ranger go?
