Looked really nice, good level design, and cool little story and characters, though they did lay the environmental metaphor on a bit too thick. Fixed bug where the hat trick achievement was not awarded when gilded ginger was eaten by a gold slime. Because of the lack of tarr, tarr-related achievements are not achievable. Still, better for a game to be too short than outstay its welcome, though I could easily have played on. 1.1.1 - Fixed bug where the Hat Trick achievement could be improperly withheld. The final area was easily the best part of the game because the devs pulled out all the stops and starting throwing more challenging puzzles and combat situations at you. Really my main criticism is that they could have done even more with the design they had. It was also pretty easy, the final boss was a pushover (I put the controller down at one point to have a sip of coffee). Really it was mostly about exploration and traversal, not much combat at all until nearer the end.
THE GUNK ACHIEVEMENT FULL
I found the main gunk cleaning mechanic to be quite satisfying, mostly because you get this awesome transformation of each area from ashen to full of life, changing the layout and traversal options. Took me just over 10 hours, but I went for 100% completion (and you know what, I missed one collectible resource somewhere on one of the maps, and just fell short of that last upgrade, aargh).


I enjoyed the game well enough for what it was, but I probably wouldn’t have bought it otherwise. I had all the upgrades well before the end of the game, so there was never really any need to go hunting for materials… that is, I never had to go out of my way or backtrack for anything. That said, my impressions mostly mirror The game was very linear, none of the puzzles were particularly challenging, and dealing with the gunk didn’t feel particularly satisfying. A game developed by Steamworld Games, Published by Thunderful Games & is available to you for just £19. I uninstalled it once I finished because it doesn’t seem like the kind of game I’d be likely to replay, so I can’t look at my save game file for the exact number. Welcome to my 100 Achievement/Trophy Guide for The Gunk. I played through it over a couple of evenings, and my total played time was probably around 6 hours or so.

THE GUNK ACHIEVEMENT UPDATE
What can they update that would need that much space? Or was it the kind of update where they did a few bug fixes but then made you download the whole game again? (I’ve already uninstalled it, so I don’t recall how big the entire game was.)
