Ikki, known outside Japan as Boomerang and Farmers Rebellion, is a 1985 action video game developed and published by Sunsoft for arcades. It is a multi-directional scrolling action game which contains some elements of a top-down shooter. A port developed by Tose for the Famicom was negatively received and infamously referred to as kusoge, from which the game endured longlasting recognition from Japanese audiences.
The game was re-released as part of multiple compilations. A mobile phone version was published in September 2003. A renewed version titled Ikki Mobile (いっき萌バイル, ikki mobairu) was released over the SoftBank Mobile and EZweb networks in July 2006. A revival of the game, titled Ikki Unite, was released in 2023.
