The Gunk is an action-adventure game in which you play as Rani, part of our duo of gritty space haulers. As they’re struggling to bring in funds, they chance upon an untouched planet brimming with life. They came in search of valuable resources, and it looks like they’ve hit the jackpot…

Reviews
Gunk is a game with great potential, but it falls a little flat. Good graphics and nice world building, though some areas are a bit repetitive in structure. Very light combat, and more focus on puzzles. Story is alright, not very compelling. The act of sucking up the gunk was a neat mechanic that very quickly turns into a chore, and the game relies too heavily on this as filler. For a playthrough of about 5 hours, it wouldn’t shock me if 30-60 minutes was just vacuuming gunk. Also, the characters a really annoying. Just bickering and starting arguments out of thin air. Every dialogue exchange is the same loop: Becks: “come back to the ship” Rani: “I’m just going to explore a little more” Becks: “I’m mad at you” Rani: “Oh geez, look at this gunk” Just variations of that over and over. Terrible writing. Also why is there a crafting tree for such a short game? And material collection for crafting… really only an incentive for you to explore brief side areas, pretty much padding a very short story game. Graphics are good, runs fine, and it’s fun enough. Style over substance for sure. Bought this for <$2 bundled with Wavetale (phenomenal game), so can’t be too mad.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

O game tem muito potencial.
几块钱买的月包小游戏,能玩
Игра от создателей годных метроэдваний но стимворлду. И она получилась проходной... Геймплейно это линейный платформер где нужно прыгать, всасывать слизь пылесосом, иногда кидаться во врагов всякой хренью. Сюжет в стиле берегите природу суки! В общем как я уже писал игра получилась крайне проходная. В ней нет чего то ужасного, но и чего то прям цепляющего в ней нет. Учитывая что на распродажах ее продают рублей за 50, можно взять погонять пару вечеров и забыть.
slurpin the gunk is quite satisfying but the story was lacking and a little hollow worth it at their sale price though
Es como una lesboaventura scifi ultra cozy. Esta bueno, me gusta el mundo que plantea. Es hiper básico y dura unas 5 horas como mucho. El diseño del planeta es lo mejor que tiene. El personaje de Becks me parece demasiado molesto hasta casi el final el juego, te repite que tengas cuidado hasta el hartazgo.
muy infravalorado, esta muy bueno el jueguito
Советую если надоели всякие шутеры, гриндилки, на раслабоне бегаешь чистишь грязь, буквально симулятор реалити лайф где нужно ветирать пыль но вам лень!
Гра доволі легка і зі своєю атмосфкрою) правда доволі коротка, у ній 6 глав які в середньому можна пройти за 4-5 годин
Очень приятная игра, красивые локации и существа. Для меня все было идеально сбалансировано: количество уборки, загадок, боев и исследования мира. Сюжет подавался интересно и хотелось остановиться в этот момент, чтобы ничего не упустить. Я получила удовольствие от игры, а это для меня самое главное. :)
