Enjoy the vibrant pixel art, while vibing to a joyfully bouncy soundtrack.

History

Tim Bürge and Aaron Abt met in 2016 during their Game Design studies at the Zurich University of the Arts. Their very first module led to the creation of the prototype for Bamerang on which they would continue to work on and off for the next three years of their studies.

Bamerang won the SGDA Junior Game Award in 2017 and was showcased at various international events (Gamescom, A MAZE, FMX, Ludicious, EyeMyth and more). Tim and Aaron formed their collective “Lululu Entertainment'' (inspired by the “lululu” sounds the first few testers made whileplaying Bamerang) and continued the development of the prototype with the help of a grant from the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia in 2018.

After their graduation in 2019, they were eager to finish the development of Bamerang and set the goal to release their debut game on Nintendo Switch and Steam. They had the chance to be part of the mentorship program at the Swiss Game Hub and could benefit from invaluable coaching from experienced Swiss game professionals including Philomena Schwab, co-founder of Stray Fawn Studio.

Composer and sound designer Lucien Guy Montandon joined the project in late 2019. After a few months of fruitful collaboration the game not only received a wonderful soundtrack, but also a fitting SFX overhaul.

More than 4.5 years after Tim and Aaron created their first prototype, everything was in place and Bamerang launched April 22nd on Nintendo Switch and Steam! With it's newest addition, Leander Schneeberger, Lululu Entertainment is already working on a new, unannounced game.
