A downloadable game for Windows

Buy Now$1.29 USD or more

After literally living under a rock for years, you emerge hungry and thirsty. You'll have to take on low-paying "gigs" in order to survive.

Cut grass, make deliveries, break rocks, and more to earn enough cash to keep from starving.

Complete all gigs and learn the secrets of the wise man who has years of gig work experience.


Gig Life is a short experience inspired by the early days of computer gaming complete with simplistic sprites, three classic colors (white, green, and amber), and CRT scanlines.
It's also the first game in the Small Style Series - a line of non-connected and often experimental budget titles for PC.

Proves a good game can use a minimalist approach and make a strong impact. Great work. 

Thanks so much!

Interesting game

Im stuck, how do I get all the main delivered, I did 17 instead of 18. Im also missing 2 bugs.

Fun little experience. Got much easier when I realized your hunger and thirst bars were time based, not based on movement, so I needed to rush instead of carefully considering my moves.

Thank you for playing! Yeah I wanted the hunger and thirst to constantly be draining to push people to hurry lol But draining them based on movement is a good idea too

Just finished your game. Fantastic.   :)

thank you :)

I like it☺

Thanks!

Itch isn't letting me buy your game. I've been trying since it launched. There's an error with  Stripe or something. :(

Sorry about the issues! I'm trying to get stripe fixed on my end!
