BONK is a very exceptional fangame, an incredible experience that feels really one of a kind. It is proudly inspired by Manor, and yet it deviates from that in important ways.
At its core, BONK is a needleventure game. The stages each have a gimmick of their own (later on mixing gimimcks), and are focused on platforming. However, the platforming rarely relies on precision, instead relying on figuring out what to do and flowy execution. This creates saves that are really fun from beginning to end.
The game also has several bosses, which are all quite creative and fun. Each boss feels different from the others, and they all are pretty memorable, from the meteor chase to the crab. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't praise the final boss. It's one of the best fangame bosses I've played, with an emphasis on discovery and player creativity to figure out solutions. That being said, I felt the water attack was significantly harder than the rest.
For a lot of people, the core of the game will be the secret hunting. There are multiple layers of secrets across the game - the main ones being the red coins and the combo stages. The red coins tend to be pretty simple to get, more like bonus collectibles that you would see in Mario or something like that. However, they still require some thought, and create a feeling of adventure as you seek out hidden nooks and crannies. Another layer of secrets requires solving riddles. I thought these were super cool, and I had a blast finding all of them. I managed to stumble onto another layer of secrets that seem to be really buried; I look forward to doing another playthrough some day to find these.
Overall, this game is truly incredible, especially for a debut. It's perfect at the macro level, with only a few gripes at a smaller scale. I would highly recommend this to anyone who's an adventure fan, and if you like exploratory games this is easily a must play.
