—The gnomes got no chance ! Drop down through levels filled with hostile gnomes. Kill gnomes and open booster packs filled with effect cards. Effect cards bring a new, unique twist to the game. You get to collect them like TCG cards, and each one has a specific effect.
Gnomer is a rogue-lite game where you take control of a hero knight fighting his way through waves of gnomes, trying to reach lower levels filled with even more dangerous gnomes. During your journey down, you choose which levels you drop to, with each having a specific reward ranging from stat upgrades to card booster packs containing special cards.

Effect Cards bring a new, unique twist to the game. You get to collect them like trading card game cards, and each one has a specific effect. For example, one can light your projectiles on fire, make enemies explode when dying to electricity, modify the way your crossbow shoots, and so much more. It’s only up to you to try all the different combinations.

During your playthrough, you choose which level to visit next. You are presented with a randomly generated tree where the links between levels are intertwined. You can then choose whether to pick a harder level (which has a better reward though) or take it easy and choose an easy one.
