Fun game & sick graphics. Rly funny too. Only down side is it is addictive. Trust me. don't play at work or school or if you dating someome bc u will get fired and ur grades will fired ### 5/5 — Gorgeous! *2019-01-24, version 1.0* Beautifully designed and thoughtful, interesting game ### 5/5 — I want my Gig back *2019-01-24, version 1.0* Fun way to underline the threat of automation in our Gig Economy ### 5/5 — Gamified precarity *2019-01-24, version 1.0* Just like real life only with a screen ### 5/5 — Gigco *2019-01-24, version 1.0* Awesome game....brings me back to working my first job and some classic Nintendo! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Learn to Code!?! *2019-01-31* 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. **Developer response:** 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! ### 5/5 — A message to gig.co *2022-06-22, version 1.51* 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 ### 5/5 — Makes Yves Klein proud *2019-03-14, version 1.4* Really enjoyed being enveloped in ethereal blue, gameplay very smooth and a good challenge! ### 5/5 — I heard about this on the radio *2019-03-07, version 1.4* Wow what a thoughtful game. Looks good, too! ### 5/5 — App Store needs more like this *2019-02-03* This game is simple and satisfying. I love it. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the nice words! ### 5/5 — I have a love hate relationship with this game *2019-01-28, version 1.1* It’s an AMAZING GAME!! But it has one very very very very bad thing about it... IT’S SO ADDICTIVE!! All in all, excellent game!!!!! ### 5/5 — Educator *2019-01-26, version 1.0* Very fun game, easy to learn - challenging to master. Lots of different characters to purchase. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — good mechanics, great aesthetic *2019-01-26, version 1.0* good mechanics, great aesthetic ### 5/5 — Extremely cohesive from start to finish *2019-01-25, version 1.0* This game makes me feel hopeful that games in the future aren’t about loot boxes, but about moving boxes from place to place. Gameplay is engaging and addictive. Sounds are tight. And the animations go extremely well with the isometric view. ### 5/5 — Move over flappy bird *2019-01-25, version 1.0* Flappy bird meets the cruelty of capitalism. Brilliant! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes! But yikes! *2019-01-25, version 1.0* Addictive tap and dash gameplay where the looming shadow of complete obsolescence hangs over your player’s every waking moment. The moment when PRIME replaces primate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
