Do you like to doodle?
Doodle Dice Monsters is a colorful game where you draw your own monsters and then use them in turn-based battles. Players make a team of six doodle creatures, fight other players, and can even win a monster from the other side. This little game from AuWiMo and Mighty Jungle Games, says the idea started when they were just 13 and sketched it on a whiteboard. After years of working on it and learning to code in college, the game is now out on Steam with a fun idea: draw your own monsters, then send them into turn-based battles, it's fun art idea and creative monster maker was fun for about an hour. After giving this game a go, we're gunna give it a modest hidden gem score: 4 out of 10.
Wow, did cleaning just get fun?
Moldwasher from Anshar Publishing feels like a smart surprise about the idea of cleaning. Its got an odd setup, playing as a tiny sushi hero cleaning a random moldy mess, but it gives off some funny charm right away, and the pixel art helps make the whole thing feel cozy instead of gross. The gameplay sounded simple at first when we played it, but that’s part of the appeal: it looks like the kind of game that’s easy to pick up and hard to stop cleaning rhythm clicks in your brain. The main downside is that it may not have a ton of depth... then again we didn't expect a hole RPG based on art, so this game is best for players who want a short, satisfying experience more than a big long game. Overall, I’d call it a clever, with a lot of personality, and that’s why it lands at 7.5 out of 10.
Probably the best Gnome game ever made ever!
Burglin' Gnomes from Fobri is the kind of chaotic co-op game that feels like a joke at first and then turns into a scream at your screen blast with friends in like 5 minutes. You play as tiny gnomes sneaking into houses, grabbing stuff, and causing as much trouble as possible while trying to finish weird tasks for the High-Gnome, which gives the whole game a funny, mischievous vibe. The best part is the slapstick chaos, since every run can turn into a mess of climbing, stealing, crafting, and accidental betrayal. The game works best with a group, so playing solo won’t feel as fun. Overall, it's a hidden gem with big energy and a lot of personality, you should go play it, and I'm giving it a hidden gem score of 8.5 out of 10.
