Solving the puzzles and clearing the gunk were sufficient antagonists in their own right. In a game that otherwise felt like a relaxing and satisfying adventure, the combat was an unnecessary struggle. However, Rani doesn't have any moves available to dodge incoming attacks and their overall movement is a bit slow even when running. This leaves players having to get Rani up close to the enemies to engage them. There are only three enemy types that the player will encounter in The Gunk, and the only means Rani has for tackling them is with Pumpkin's vacuum suction. In fact, I'd dare say the combat as a whole is the one glaring weak spot in the entire game. The lack of wildlife diversity also spills over into the handful of enemies that you'll encounter in The Gunk. Seeing a little more wildlife could have helped cement the story note that this is a planet that needs you to save it. In one particular chapter we encounter an unusual animal that we help to save from the dreaded Gunk Critters, but following the conclusion of the chapter we never see another one of these animals ever again. There's a surprising lack of wildlife on the alien planet we visit during our time with The Gunk. Assok, annoyed, screams back a mess of regurgitated dialogue at four times the volume.Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) She cries out for Melody, who blasts them all across the plain with a forte note, untangling everyone. She refuses to untie them unless she is taken home, and Julienne attempts to fly away and free herself, failing miserably. She is momentarily pacified when she spots Hero, who compliments and pats her. While he's down, he's slammed into by a furious Julienne, who tries to stab him as they get further entangled in the long string of Blank. Hero experimentally puts some in the gap between RGB's pant leg and shoe, causing him to collapse. They start traveling again, taking with them some of the Blank and spooling it into a ball. He pauses, bends down, and calls them transcendent. They watch it go, and RGB checks that Hero hasn't been harmed by contact with the gunk, and clarifies that she found Assok in a crack at the base of the tree. Hero joins the sock, leaving RGB in the goop, and the tree snaps free to fly into the distance. Hero exclaims she want to do it again, and while she helps RGB up, Assok bites into the remaining tether. Presumably RGB's grip slips or the tether breaks near to the ground, dumping both of them and Assok into a pile of pink gunk. Meanwhile, the tree can be seen throughout the world, leaving The Idea, Dial, TOby, and Madras stunned at the sight of it. As they travel, Hero asks what will happen to it next, and as it forms into the shape of a heart she notices that it now has golden glowing leaves. At Hero's suggestion and RGB's slight hesitation, they use his cane to zip-line down the remaining tether onto the ground. RGB explains that it is remembering and healing, and the two begin to think about how to get down. Hero and RGB awaken to find that the tree they rested in has flown up into the air during the night, as well as changed in color and begun to move in the shape of deer trying to break free. reviews, tracks and shop for the 2001 Vinyl release of Funky Gunk / Chicken Jack on Discogs.
