How can I move an object along a curved path toward the mouse position programmatically?
I want the boomerang to travel a curved path as its y position decreases, and moves towards the mouse. In this case the mouse controls a Kinematic Rigidbody 2D game object, that is constrained to movement along the x axis, like a paddle in breakout or pong.
Here's an illustration of what I'm looking for:

Here's the code I'm using now:
private Vector3 previousBoomerangVector;
void Update () {
// if boomerang y is decreasing
if (previousBoomerangVector.y > this.transform.position.y) {
// move boomerang x towards the mouse x position
Vector3 moveTowardsMouse = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, Input.mousePosition, 10f * Time.deltaTime);
this.transform.position = new Vector3(moveTowardsMouse.x, this.transform.position.y);
}
previousBoomerangVector = this.transform.position;
}
