Gobble’d up.
Truly theBasement Jaxxof videogames, shooty wobbly platforming sequelGonner2is almost ready to start asking where your head’s at. The sequel to Ditto’s absolute stunner of a side-scrolling roguelite,Gonner2 dives into the underworld next Thursday, promising an even greater explosion of colour that threaten to knock the skull right off you.
Quietlyone ofthe best, if not the prettiest games of 2016, I was well excited to hear thatGonner was getting a sequelearlier this summer. Too many people slept on the first game, I reckon, andGonner2looks bigger, wilder and a hell of a lot weirder.

Like 2016’s Gonner, this month’s sequel is a delightfully trippy action-platformer painted in a splash of throbbing colours. Your wee man, Ikk, is bouncing off into the underworld to solve a problem for Death - and to do so, you’ll need to be on the hunt for new weapons, backpacks, and entirely new heads, popping on a new noggin to dramatically mix up your moveset.
Next week’s sequel expands on that, branching into a sprawling non-linear world with more heads, baddies and bosses. It’s all looking slightly more “videogame” this time ‘round, with more stats and UI guff on the screen - but thankfully, each level still ends with a catworm gobbling your little boy up. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Gonner2 wobbles ontoSteamon October 22nd. In the meantime, I wholly recommend heading on over toDitto’s Itch page, which is full of wonderfully awful free games abouteating your pal’s face.
