Excellent idea, excellent mod. Loved the maps that were mostly about movement. Did not like some of the maps where there was a lot of awkward bonk combat. I think the movement element is awesome, the combat element can be a bit frustrating at times.
I’m going to reluctantly pass on this one. It looks like a fun idea with a lot of potential for new gameplay elements. But it’s just horrible to play on a trackpad, which what I use on my MacBook. It needs to you hold down the fire button, which is a click into the pad, and continue to manouevre as you do so — something that is at best clumsy and at worst impossible.
That’s not a criticism of Bonk — it’s probably great when played with a conventional mouse-and-keyboard combo — it just doesn’t work for me, and I’m going to move on to something that does.

Very solid game pack!
And a lot of outside-the-envelope thinking!
I’m not completely compatible with the new game mechanics (old and feeble and s*it like that) but luckily cheats and rocket jumps still work….
A series of very nice maps. I’m pleased!
Finally got around to completing this one. The quality of the mapping is excellent, with sometimes absolutely stunning visuals and a lot of fun design choices around the new movement options. I don’t mind the fact that combat is significantly slowed down in maps with few weapons, as long as the mapper has been fair with encounter design. One repeat offender in this regard is use of the gaunt, which is not fun to bonk.
My only other major criticism would be the few sections where you have to … bonkhop? over long stretches of teleporters. Perhaps I’m just too old and slow to master this particular mechanic, but its failing is that it doesn’t make me even slightly want to. If it weren’t for noclip I’d have just skipped those maps.
