Gons.io – Action Game Review
Gons.io is a Action/Simulation game from Sam Hogan, first launched in 28th August 2017.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 88+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Gons.io Stand Out
Gons.io throws you into a map where you must shoot to survive. Collect edges and shoot other players to gain more edges as you approach circular perfection.
Here's how it (basically) goes:
You materialize into a strange world as a humble triangle. You realize you are not constrained – but you can move! You find yourself to be in a small room, yet you feel the urge to explore. Look, a passage! You decide to enter. You travel around a corner and see something in the distance – what appears to be a spinning line segment. You approach it carefully. It doesn't seem harmful. You touch it and are immediately transformed into a square! It feels so good. You need to find more. You see what you think is another segment just obscured by a wall. You resume motion to check. Wait, that's not a segment – but another polygon! "Hello!" you exclaim, "Do you by any chance know where I could find some more of these line segments?" He doesn't answer and begins approaching you. Suddenly an edge is projected straight out of him. He is not giving you this – he is trying to kill you. You frantically dart sideways as the segment whizzes past your lower vertices. You scramble into rooms and down passages in an attempt to evade the assailant. This world is not what you thought it was. Those edges you want – everyone else wants them too – and they will do anything to get them. As you attempt to gather your thoughts, something amazing happens. You witness the miracle of spawn. A living, moving triangle – out of nowhere! After a brief state of awe, you remember where you are, and what you must do. "I'm so sorry," you mutter as an edge emerges from your polygonal body.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We love this game cause it keeps us busy.
Sam hogan is our favorite YouTuber and we have all his games they never get old.
We love your Chanel its awsome and it looks like you make awsome games.
So we downloaded this and later we realized that it was made by you we found out by watching one of your YouTube videos and we just wanted to say,good job.
We LOVE YOUR GAMES!!!!! When stick with it came out we got it and loved it so we got this and will get the rest of your games soon, but this is our first review. We really wish you could make more mobile game or mobile ports of your other games. So PLEASE MAKE MORE MOBILE GAMES PLEASE.
It's fun on the phone and our high score is 4000.
This game is so addicting and fun. It's way better than any other .io game.
Ive been playing gons.io for a while, and there arent any problems that affect the gameplay. Although, there is a bug where the text becomes either pixels, only a few of the letters in the writing, or in one case, Chinese. This bug doesnt really affect gameplay, but there are a lot of ads (like every three rounds) that should probably be worked on because we once got an ad right after starting a round. Anyway, overall good game, but the ads are a problem and it seems like the game itself has dyslexia. Byee.
Im really love this game, but we found a glitch where u just teleport to a unnecessary place, we cant move, its black, only edges, and we cant collect sticks. It started with 30, does this mean we havt to restall the app.
Hi we like the game a stuff but we hate that every time we die a add comes up and whats worse rid the same ad comes when we die to and we wish you a more content and a shop were you can buy trianguls with faces and do you play online or offline?? And it kinda got bugs and its kinda glitchy so thats why Ill give the game 4/5 stars bye.
It's an incredible game. The game could use some tweaks as it favors established larger players. It reminds us of flatland by Edwin Abbott Abbott.
We keep getting killed right when we start but pretty cool.
Most of the time, Someone immeadietly comes and ahnialites you, but on the ever so off chance, You become a god. Our max score was 1064 sides. Right before that, we were at 9 sides. The problem though, was when we died, The Game Glitched and Closed us Out. We know your YouTube channel is gone now, but great game except for glitches and Way overpowered players.
In the part where EpicCreeper39 said 4y ago in his title fake io game one part he said "and all of the text on the screen turns to gibberish" Ive actually seen that happen. By the way also we gave 3/5 for the text turning to gibberish. Although everything else is okay but we have seen players named "play Color Combine" although when we tried downloading the app on our iPad on the App Store nothing was it. By the way we actually saw you in a video not allowing people to play it. (epok gaem tho).
This game is pretty cool, ive watched you on youtube, and it sometimes corrupts. Our name gets akward, the edges sign gets akward, but that is alright. We are a total n00b at this game, so we get shot alot.
This is a good game, aside from a few things ive noticed, one of those is that the more edges you have, the faster they fire. This only makes the circles even more unkillable, thus making the game leas fun. Also, theres a glitch where there will be static edges that automatically kill you when you touch them, which happens quite often, as they are hard to tell them apart from normal edges. Also, the game isnt actually multiplayer. We hope that if you come back to this game, you can fix some of these.
TO HARD! MAKE IT EASIER! MY BEST SCORE IS 3011.
Is this a rage game? This game should be much easier. Has potential though. If you lasted longer than 2 seconds you O B V we O U S L Y hacked.
We alway spawning near the people With most sides and they blast faster making it hard to run when we have like 12 sides in try shoot someone it doesnt really work it only works for the triangle for us. Also Sam Hogan we watch a Videos and they also have another over game Stick With It and we cant even get past checkpoint it.
We would gladly rate this game 5 stars if it wasn't so laggy. It makes it so hard to stay alive when you don't know what your doing. So all in all we would say if the glitching would be fixed this would be an amazing game.
Believe it or not this game is more raging than Stick with it and whenever we spawn we immediately die from other players.
Fake players (something honestly a lot of .io games have now), glitchy text, bottle-necks are op, super unbalanced, mobile players can spam like 3 times faster than pc players. A tip: make players invincible until they pick up an edge. Stick with it is great though, and we love your videos.
We see a somewhat interesting concept this this game, but it seems to very broken in terms of competitive multiplayer, and needs a lot of work. The other problem would be that this game is in no way unique from many other .io games, in that is pretends to be multiplayer, and even goes as far as to lie about having other players in its description, which comes off as a shady way of getting ad revenue, the fact being that it does have ads. We would say its disappointing to see another game that lies about having multiplayer, but we shouldnt have very higher expectations at this point.
This is Bad Because, IT DOES NOT TELL YOU HOW TO SHOOT AND THIS GAME IS IMPOSIBLE TO PLAY.
The game dosent even have real players, just turn on airplane mode and it still goes, and on top of this the game is VERY unbalanced. Maybe only one out of 10 times we play do we survive long enough to become a higher than a hexagon. But please note that something with 4 sides is NOT called a quadralateral, and randomly all of the text on the screen turns to gibberish. Btw the story thing in the description is kind of cringey tbh.
