Boss discussion: Gnomus the gnome king
Gnomus the gnome king
The main boss of infinity time and the ruler of all gnomes.
He is a fatish gnome wearing goggles and a crown with a large white beard. He rides a large gnomish contraption what floats above the ground shaped like a mushroom powered by a spin wheel with a strange fluid much like the multiplayer portal in(love that detail btw).
He fires a rainbow beam attack, fires blue homing energy balls that deal immense damage, can destabalize time, and even hurt you be running into you.
An impostor of him appears every 5 waves in infinity time to try and stop the junkosaurus or mecha cat. He sends a Blue, Green, Yellow, and finally Red impostor alingside legions of gnomes and the opposing faction.
He also appears to guide the player through the trials of gnomus and as the rainbow guardian to unlock the final chamber.
Has a banger of a theme.
Has a total of 1200 health.
I really like the gnomes in general. They open up so many possibilities for the series and they are an interesting faction that attacks both sides.
He also can be a challenging boss by himself if he is ignored as his homing attack and time destabilization can be deadly.
Wish there was more of these guys in general.
He has a scrapped remix of his theme is Bfn so he was most likely going to appear in future updates but was canned due to the games failure.
I also feel that Bfn gnomes were really lacking aside from the three small boss fights they got. It's a shame as something like infinity time or trials of gnomus was something that could be expanded but instead Bfn cut a lot of previous characters or content.
He may be a reference to King Globus from Hammer Heads, another game developed by PopCap. Both share the traits of being gnomes, as well as kings that the player must defeat, and they also function as the most powerful enemy in their particular modes. They also have similar names, both starting with a G, have an o for the third letter, and end in -us.
