Where GONNER was a deadly psychedelic trip, GONNER2 is an adrenaline rush! With better graphics, catchy techno soundtrack, and streamlined gameplay, this sequel is a must-play. Traverse procedurally generated levels, fight waves of enemies, and dive deep into a fun, chaotic world. This is rogue-lite gaming at its best, but it isn't one for kids!
Welcome to GONNER2, a platform game that's as intense as it is unpredictable, where you'll be playing as an intrepid pink blob as you explore procedurally generated worlds with a little help from... a carrier-snake! This rogue-lite with its minimalist yet outlandishly colourful graphics well see you making your way across levels filled with orange enemies and a huge variety of obstacles to overcome. Here, chaos is your playground and survival, your mission: collect weapons, use the right ammo at the right time, and upgrade your gear so that you can progress through the worlds without ending up a puddle of blob.
With simple yet demanding controls, you can slide, jump, and shoot your way to repelling swarms of increasingly tough enemies. The game gives no quarter, and speed and agility are your best friends. The procedurally generated levels mean every outing is a unique adventure. Featuring enemies with unpredictable patterns and bosses each tougher than the last, the game is always a challenge, even for platforming pros. And if you want to share the frustration, there's a multiplayer mode where you can sow chaos with up to four players.
We liked the game's pumping techno soundtrack that accompanies each level with procedurally generated tracks. The syncopated action goes perfectly with this soundscape, ramping up the energy of your most intense sessions even further. On top of all that, the improved hitboxes and smoother gameplay make your attack combos even more satisfying to pull off. When it comes to the graphics, you'll find the same minimalist aesthetic as in the first GONNER game, with a dash of visual humour that adds to the game's charm.
Our favourite part? The combo system. The more kills you rack up in a row, the more new attacks and crazy visual effects you'll unlock. The screen might suddenly be flooded with bright yellows while your blob, engrossed in a combo, takes out enemies all over the screen. This system not only makes they gameplay more dynamic, but it rewards bold players who aren't afraid to take risks.
Our tip to help you on your way? Don't worry if you start running out of ammo in the middle of a kill streak! As well as shooting anything that moves, try the famed "headbutt". Picture the scene: you're facing a boss, you've run out of ammo, and things are getting hairy. Instead of admitting defeat, strike out with a headbutt to earn ammo from your enemy itself! This is a great tip for when you're in a tight spot, and it gives your blob some real flair. And always remember to give each level a thorough search to root out hidden treasures to boost your weapons.
Who'll enjoy this game? GONNER2 is designed for fans of rogue-lite and platform games, with a difficulty that ranges from "severe" to "explosive". So, whether you're a seasoned die-and-retry veteran or a gamer looking for a surreal challenge, this game will keep you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for teenagers and adults who like a challenge, it serves up a fun, quirky, and demanding gameplay experience. But it's not one for the kids!
