    The Gunk by @thunderfulgames.bsky.social is $0.74(!) and that's.... downright fiendish. A beautiful alien world, fun puzzles, sympathetic characters. But, above all, a gorgeous and lush soundtrack by @ratvaderr.bsky.social I cannot gush enough about that OST ♥️ Get it. www.gog.com/en/game/the_...

    I just finished the fitst 2 books of @kbwagers.com NeoG series. And I started playing The Gunk game. Rani and Becks VAs ( Fiona Nova and Molly Daisy Scarpine) are now the voices for Max and Jenks. I don't make the rules, I just follow my brain through this universe 🖖🤟

    finished The Gunk, which is a relatively short game where you vacuum up gunk, collect resources, and listen to a lot of banter. it's... fine? a few minor bugs, like when this elevator entirely derendered there's also this plant which made me think of early bsky for reasons which are not flattering

    Finished The Gunk on Gamepass, a perfectly cromulent game. It gets a bit repetitive and saves its more interesting level design for the end, but there's something about the style that kept me going back. I love the character design. You play "just a lil gal" straight out of Oddworld or something.

    So just played The Gunk on my Ally. It’s a really nice game. Wasn’t quite sure what to expect as I hadn’t really read much about the game prior to booting it up. Glad I did as this is right up my street. Looks like it’s a short game tho but a good short experience is better than one that out stays.

    There's something about THE GUNK that recalls good Gamecube games - the obvious LUIGI'S MANSION vacuum puzzle gameplay, sure, but there's elements of BEYOND GOOD & EVIL, possibly ZELDA too. It's not a challenging or lengthy game, but it's familiar and charming.

    Just finished playing the Gunk. It's a solid 7.5/10 for me. It's currently less than 2 bucks as part of Steam's Spring Sale. I highly recommend grabbing a copy if you like scifi adventure/platforming/puzzle game with women protagonists, an environmental theme, and a 10ish hour playthrough.

    Got a little sick, but played all the way through The Gunk after working on some game art for a few hours. Still not better, but at least I got all but 3 achievements on that game, and did two forms out of about 40+ frames in detail done, I mean, depending on 4-6 frames. Live, too #MetroidVania

    I started playing The Gunk last night and loving the game! Do I wish the narrative openly said the 2 characters are a sapphic couple? Damn right, but the rest of the game is really enjoyable and I love the banter between the 2 characters, and the environmental scifi vibe is wonderful.

    Played the Gunk on Steam Deck and had a fun time. Will say game had mild stutters when too much Gunk on the screen. Overall reminded me of like Ratchet & Clank meets Luigi's Mansion vacuum with more emphasis on platforming and mild puzzle solving.
