The Gunk is an action-adventure game developed by Thunderful Development, the makers of the Steamworld series.

Soon they realize that the planet holds more secrets than they thought, and the chance of getting rich quickly will turn into a fight for survival. The game features action-packed gameplay with elements of crafting. The initial reception of The Gunk was positive, with the critics noting the visual style and mechanics.

Gameplay

The Gunk offers the player a chance to do something good for the environment of a distant planet by clearing it of grime and slime that covers its surface. Getting rid of the titular substance will be the player's main task. Using the protagonist's specialized glove, the player will suck in the grime and unearth treasures and resources lying beneath. Clearing the area of gunk will also bring back the vegetation so that the player can see the efforts of their "degunking" flourish before their eyes. The enemies in the game will also be attracted to the gunk, so the player must pick their battles carefully or risk being overwhelmed.

As they proceed through the world's surface, getting rid of the toxic grime, they discover more and more secrets hidden under the slimy substance, including ancient ruins, forgotten technologies, and dangerous aliens. Soon enough, the chance for an easy buck turns into a dramatic fight for survival.
