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.

GoNNER follows Ikk, an altruistic wanderer trying to cheer up his friend Sally, a giant whale. Players travel through dangerous worlds in search of the right trinket for her.
Each run combines side-scrolling platforming and shooting across procedurally generated levels. Players fight creatures, avoid hazards, and build kill combos to earn points.
Before a run, players select a loadout of heads, weapons, and other gear, with more options becoming available through play. Hidden areas hold unlockable items, while daily challenges give everyone the same generated world and starting loadout.
Players who enjoy GoNNER often point to its distinctive visuals and soundtrack, along with fast combat and satisfying kill combos. Some say the challenge becomes rewarding as they learn the mechanics, while others find the difficulty, unclear items, or combat imprecise and frustrating.
