Gameplay
The rogue-like features of the game introduce different heads and limbs that can be unlocked over multiple playthroughs and in game that act as a passive item, causing bullets to be larger, for faster shooting and many other abilities. There are four worlds in Gonner and players move on to the next one by killing the current world's end boss.
