Critic Reviews
- It’s clear that developer Art in Heart has respect for its audience by not spoon feeding the player like some toddler watching Sesame Street. With its highly addictive gameplay as well as the addition of added daily challenges, GoNNER is worth the price of admission in ranking among the best games that you can buy on the Nintendo eShop at that price range.
Darren Palma · Aug 10, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you’re after a game that’s fun to pick up and play, GoNNER is well worth the asking price. Its unique visuals, great soundtrack and wonderfully responsive controls make it a title you’ll go back to again and again; perfect for a portable device like the Switch
Rich · Jul 13, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Shooting, dodging, clinging to walls, and making it through each world without dying is no small feat. Like The Binding of Isaac, GoNNER is a game about trying and re-trying to succeed. It’s not frustrating or hard in a way that’s off-putting. Rather, like the best roguelikes, it begs you to try again. You feel like you failed Ikk when he dies, not that the game was cheap or punishing. For $10, you could do a whole lot worse on the Switch. And if you like hard, side-scrolling action games – this is a no brainer.
William Murphy · Jun 29, 2017 Reviewed onRead full review - Gonner presents a stiff challenge that might not be for everyone, but if the potential oddities of this disquieting adventure seem up your alley, it’s well worth trying to figure out; just be prepared to maybe look up a few things for clarification. It’s not quite the tops of this take on the roguelike genre, but Gonner definitely earns its spot at the table.
Neal Ronaghan · Jun 29, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Possibly too tricky for some players, this game requires a lot of determination, offering little respite - expect to be thrown back to the start countless times as you try to progress. If you’re the type who enjoys a serious challenge we recommend giving this title a go; it is one that will reward those who stick with it the most.
Ryan Craddock · Jun 29, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - While loadouts offer some tactical planning, the range of equipment isn't as diverse or significant as, for instance, Nuclear Throne. GoNNER doesn't offer the longevity of the best roguelike shooters, but it's nonetheless a stylish, weird and entertaining action platformer.
Phil Savage · Jan 28, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It is unfortunate that GoNNER is seemingly flying under the radar. It is a damned good game by all measures with addictive gameplay, catchy music, a great art style, and just the right amount of challenge. If you're looking for your next favorite roguelike platformer, look no further.
Jed Whitaker · Oct 19, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Gonner is a single gameplay mechanic away from being a fantastic run & gun roguelike, and if you don’t mind passing up a set of options, that problem can be ignored. It has a wonderful aesthetic, blending cute and cartoon-creepy, rendered in a unique art style that does a wonderful job of tying all the elements together.
James Cunningham · Oct 19, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While GoNNER may be brutally hard, there’s plenty to find rewarding if you’re someone who doesn’t get frustrated too easily, or who can appreciate the diverseness that the randomly generated roguelike can exhibit. Underneath the game’s pastels of bright and intense coloring, there’s great gameplay systems waiting to be explored. If you’re the type of person who loves tight 2D platforming and shooting in your games, then GoNNER isn’t something to be slept on.
Dan Thompson · Aug 01, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - The roguelike elements drag it down a touch, but this is a memorable action platformer whose surreal visuals work in tandem with some fun 2D combat.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
GoNNER is a tough as hell procedurally-generated 2D platformer with roguelike elements, following the largely misunderstood and altruistic Ikk on a journey to cheer up his only friend in this world—a giant landbound whale named Sally—by searching for just the right trinket in the deep and dark places nearby.
