Discover a Dating App That Pairs You with Your Perfect Game

Feb 21, 2025 12:31 PM

A new app called Ludocene aims to revolutionize game recommendations by matching players with titles they’re likely to enjoy, akin to a dating app for games. Developed by a team led by notable freelance game journalist Andy Robertson, Ludocene utilizes a unique deck-building mechanic that allows users to swipe through game recommendations similar to Tinder. By setting a financial goal of £26,280 on Kickstarter, the app seeks to create a personalized experience, gathering expert opinions to curate a selection of games tailored to individual preferences. As of now, the project has raised £6,331 with 20 days remaining in the fundraising campaign.

How does Ludocene’s game recommendation system work?

Ludocene functions by presenting users with cards of games, where they can swipe up to accept or down to reject a recommendation. This swiping mechanism helps build a customized deck of potential games to play, guided by user preferences and expert reviews.

Ludocene enters a market where finding new and enjoyable games can be daunting for players overwhelmed by choices. With gaming culture continuously expanding, an app that simplifies discovery while connecting players with curated content has potential appeal. It taps into the increasing trend of personalized gaming experiences, making it a noteworthy addition to the industry.
