The Gunk is a pretty chill adventure game in which you land on a foreign planet and discover its secrets. Nothing that it does is particularly special in any way, but it just felt like a good package overall that doesn't overstay its welcome. It just tries to tell a nice short story while giving me some satisfying gameplay in absorbing the gunk, sprinkled with some platforming or puzzling here and there. The visuals are also quite nice to look at, giving this ecosystem its own identity. The characters look a bit bland in comparison, and the flora can be a bit repetitive, but since it's a short game so it wasn't too big of an issue.
