GoNNER is a rogue–likelikelike 2D action platformer in which the player controls Ikk, a sentient drop of water, who goes off on an adventure to find the perfect trinket for his friend Sally the land–whale. On the way, Ikk meets Death and the mysterious Shopkeeper.

Plot Interpretation

Ikk, a sentient drop of water, and Sally the land-whale are best of friends. They spend their days together playing and adventuring. One day, Ikk decides to surprise Sally with the perfect trinket. Ikk sets off, alone, to the Cave World to search for one. Along the way, Ikk finds many glyphs and the mysterious Shopkeeper who accepts the Glyphs from Ikk in exchange for items. Ikk also meets Death.

After finding nothing in the Cave world, Ikk returns to Sally and then goes off to the Robot World to continue his search. Ikk returns empty handed once more, only to find that Sally is very sick. Ikk resumes his search, in the hope that finding a trinket for Sally will make her feel better, and searches the Shooty World. Unfortunately, Ikk finds nothing yet again, and returns to find that Sally is no longer there. Ikk confronts Death, who has decided to claim Sally, and turns on Ikk. He transports Ikk to the Death World. Ikk fights through Death's army of flying skulls, and other dead souls that he encountered throughout his adventure, and eventually kills Death. With Death destroyed, Ikk takes his place, and restores Sally to life.

Ikk can move around by using the joystick and/or arrow buttons.
Ikk can jump by pressing the Jump button.
Ikk can shoot his weapon by pressing the shoot button.
Ikk can use his equipped item by pressing the use button.

Ikk can attack enemies by jumping on them, or by using a weapon ( or backpack ability )

but, he can also do the following :

• Wall jump and shoot while on the wall
  
• Hold UP while jumping to jump higher ( his body stretches up )
  
• Hold DOWN to jump on enemies faster, and to duck
  
• Turn his body angle with certain heads to shoot in any direction ( also can be used to boost you off the ground when firing down)

• You need at least 1 Glyph to earn points
  
  
• Each enemy has a value which is multiplied by the number of glyphs you have
  
  (example)
  
  One small bat with One glyph and No combo = 1 point 1x1= 1
  One Spikey walker with 4 glyphs and No combo = 8 points 2x4= 8
  
  Players can rack up points faster with each glyph that they are carrying.
  
  That value is mulitplied by the combo meter. Rapidly killing enemies in quick succession will build up the combo meter, which will be indicated by the crossed out skulls in the top right corner. There is an audible sound cue for when your combo has ended, and the skulls will disappear.
  
  You earn a glyph from enemies every time you fill the combo meter in the top right of the screen.
  ( 5 kills in a combo )

Ikk can take damage from:

• Making contact with enemies without jumping on their heads. Please not that jumping on the Porcupines in the Cave World will damage Ikk.
  
• Being hit by enemy projectiles.
  
• Falling down pitfalls, or off the screen. This will result in instant-death.
  
  When Ikk takes damage, he will lose all his items and fall apart, unless he has the Brick Head equipped. Pressing jump will cause Ikk to immediately reform and stand up. Taking and further damage without Ikk regaining his head will result in death.
  
  However, Ikk will not take damage for a few seconds after falling apart (it seems to be approximately 3 seconds. You will see a visual countdown indicator of one line, then two lines, and finally 3 lines from his body. There are also sound cues) if the jump button is not pressed.
  
  Players can use this time to move Ikk to regain his head and gear (Ikk can pass unhindered through enemies without taking damage in this state) so that Ikk is no longer vulnerable to death (he will just fall apart again if he takes damage as long as he has at least his head.
  
  If Ikk has no health, he will die instantly upon taking damage even if he regains his head).
  
  
  Ghost Friends
  
  Throughout certain actions in the game you can earn a ghost friend that will help you in a different way : 1 that helps collect your gear, one that picks up glyphs for you, and a third one that will carry a spare gun and shoots it whenever you shoot your weapon.

How to Unlock : reach the 4th stage of world 1 in a very quick time ( approx under 2 minutes )
and look near the top of the map, there will be a long tunnel going upwards that includes the time stopping backpack.

Fart World

A dimension parallel to Ikk's dimension where everything is exactly the same but sh*tty. Ikk can go there while equipping the Sh*t Head.

This section contains information on the Boss Battles that Ikk has to face during the game. Please note that the levels for these encounters are mostly fixed, with some variation in additional enemies.





Strategy: Pushing up against the wall immediately as Ikk drops into the screen keeps him safe from the additional enemies. Ikk still has to be careful of the three boss enemies rushing at him. He can either shoot them to stop their attack and force them to stop, or wall jump/drop out of danger. Ikk should take special care to manage his ammo. If he runs out, he can jump on one of the many additional enemies to refill his ammo. Shooting at the boss bats from the wall should make quick work of them, especially if the player has a shotgun, laser gun, or shark fin equipped. The God Box works well as an "uh oh" button to avoid damage and/or death. Be warned: Jumping on the same boss bat consecutively will damage Ikk. Ikk can however jump between different boss bats and/or enemies.





Strategy: Ikk must avoid projectiles from the turrets after he drops into the area, and traverses it to meet Gureddo. The lightning gun, or very precise aim with the Teddy Head, can help Ikk take out the turret enemies. Gureddo himself does not actively attack Ikk. The aim is to shoot the red pieces on him. Be careful, as destroying one of those patches will cause enemies to spawn out of it. If Ikk has destroyed the patches that he can access from the left–side, he can then either walk under Gureddo or jump over him. Jumping on the red patches on the top will also damage Gureddo and cause the red patches to break. Once four pieces are destroyed, Gureddo dies.

This is probably the easiest boss fight in the game, as long as the player is careful enough to avoid the projectiles from the turrets.





Strategy: The boss will not immediately spawn when Ikk drops in. Ikk will encounter enemies from Shooty World as he progresses through the area. The Snakes will spawn in from the top left when Ikk gets far enough. Wall jumping, and sliding down walls slowly make this fight much easier. Simply gain some distance from the snakes, press into a wall and shoot at them. If they begin to get too close, drop down and gain more distance. Please note that the snakes will only take damage near their ends, or heads. Upon damaging a snake head, it will turn away from Ikk and begin moving in the other direction. Jumping on the snakes is possible, but Ikk cannot jump on the same snake twice without taking damage. It might be advisable to wait until only 2 or 3 are left to attempt to damage them with by jumping between them. If Ikk runs out of ammo, simply proceed forward and down until an enemy is encountered and refill Ikk's ammo. This boss is not as difficult as other bosses, and Ikk should be able to kill him before reaching the bottom. The shotgun, laser gun, and/or shark fin will make quick work of this boss.

Death World: ???

Sally is Ikk's friend. The player is able to interact with Sally after completing a world and defeating its boss.This currently only happens twice in the game: Once after finishing the Cave World, and once after finishing the Robot World.

Sally offers Ikk benefits each time he visits her.

• If Ikk does not have full health then running up to Sally and touching her will cause Sally to spawn a heart, with which Ikk can refill his health. Ikk can claim as many hearts as he wants.
  
  
  
  
• If Ikk has full health the first time that he touches Sallly, then Sally will upgrade his weapon's ammo capacity. Each weapon is upgraded by the following amounts:
  
  
  
  Rifle: 8 bullets
  Shotgun: 4 bullets
  Laser Gun: 6 bullets
  Lightning Gun: 5 bullets
  Rocket Gun: 5 bullets
  
  Please note that Ikk cannot receive the ammo upgrade if he uses Sally to refill his health. Ikk must have entered the prior boss fight with full health and needs to have defeated it without taking any damage to receive the ammo upgrade. Ikk will lose this upgrade if he dies, or equips a different weapon.
  
  
• Sally will upgrade Ikk's health by one heart every time that he meets her.
  
  
  If Ikk is near Sally, pressing shoot will cause him to drop his weapon. Pressing the shoot button a second time will cause Ikk to drop his equipped item. Ikk can now converse with Sally. If the shoot button is now pressed three more times, then Ikk will tell Sally that he loves her, and will receive a health upgrade of one heart. Please note that Ikk will lose this upgrade upon death, or equipping a new head.

Secret areas is a W.I.P.

Please note that secret areas are fixed in layout. Dying in Secret Area 1, 2, or 3 and subsequently resurrecting causes the game to resurrect Ikk on level 3 of that world, allowing him to access the Secret Area again.

• You can find the section of a room there will be a secret area snake in, when you enter it.
  You can see the snake sink below the screen ( if it is in that area)
  
  There is a special sound effect played in areas with a secret area as you enter the stage
  
  
  Secret Area 1
  
  
  The secret area I found here, is on the third screen in Area 1, kill every enemy and look for the special snake to come up ( it may be near start of that area )
  
  In This Area, you will find the Ant face in the top right; it allows you to glide when you hold the jump button.
  
  
  Secret Area 2
  
  
  The secret area I found here was also on the third screen of the level,and again; kill all enemies to find the secret snake ( you may need to jump very high, and also look very low, some of the turret enemies hide near bottom of stage)'
  
  In this Area, scale to the top to find the Cannon Gun (explosive rounds that hurt you, too)
  
  
  Secret Area 3
  
  
  
  
  Secret Area 4
  
  Currently Unknown. If you found it, please comment below, thanks!
  
  
  Sally's Secret Area
  
  It is possible to jump over Sally if Ikk has the Teddy Head.
  
  
  
  The Entrance behind Sally after Jumping over her.
  
  Inside Sally's Secret Area. The Sh*t Head is in the bottom left corner. The area is full of Ghosts.
