A message to gig.co

Hey I’m Jac one of your workers at Gigco boss if your reading this maybe we’d do better at our job if there aren’t a bunch of robots running around and stealing a boxes. P.S we should have a option to message and react to the mail we get instead of deleting them for our social life

Makes Yves Klein proud

Really enjoyed being enveloped in ethereal blue, gameplay very smooth and a good challenge!

I heard about this on the radio

Wow what a thoughtful game. Looks good, too!

App Store needs more like this

This game is simple and satisfying. I love it.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the nice words!

Learn to Code!?!

No that’s not a solution. (Unless you’re a fired borderline useless millennial/lefty “reporter”).
Higher minimum wage boosts will only lead to more automation at a faster rate.
As for the game...
Meh.
It’s ok, but nothing that hasn’t been done before. But the obvious reason for the games existence is it’s message. Which is why I put one at the start of this review.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the review! Although it’s not very explicit in GIGCO, we think that organized labour is the best way to make working conditions more fair, and “escape” the precarious conditions of the gig economy. Pwr to the ppl!
