Planet vacuuming simulator 1000 A short game in a nicely made world with just enough of a story to keep you going. Ultimately it is too linear but fun enough to explore while it lasts. The bones of something greater are there but everything gets wrapped up swiftly.

The Gunk was a fun little experience. The combat was easy and straightforward for the most part, and sucking up the gunk was really satisfying and relaxing. Hunting down the last few resources for one of the achievements got a little annoying, but overall the achievements were pretty easy. Just make sure you grab everything along the way and scan everything you encounter.

Short game, nice environments and music, ruined by yellow paint everywhere and cringy dialogue. The character designs are also ugly and the animations are off in certain cutscenes.
