Nothing here will surprise seasoned gamers but The Gunk has enough diverting action and puzzle-solving in its brief runtime to keep players' attention

The Gunk is a simple little platforming adventure full of malicious messes that are plenty fun to clean up.

Charming little title
Had a lot of fun navigating the world. It's not a HARD game by any mean, but it was fun and I wanted to continue playing.

Beautiful and friendly action adventure
This is a very beautiful game about exploring an alien world and - you guessed it - saving that planet from death. The premise is cliché but the execution is wonderful: The graphics and especially the gunk look wonderful, the platforming and puzzles are light. The banter between the protagonist and her partner are interesting and fresh - not the regular gruff adventurer machismo. I finished it in about 5 hours and in the course of it only died a very few times. There were maybe two, three puzzles that had me stumped for a short while but nothing frustrating. I can imagine this is excellent to play with kids.
