How ranking works

The community makes the chart

Rankings appear as more ratings come in

Good rankings take a few good opinions. A game needs at least 5 counted ratings before it can chart. Rate the games you’ve played and help build the Playdate’s definitive Top 50.

Make your first rating

No pretend scores. No paid placements. Just players, turning the crank.

Winter mascot in a beanie and scarf

Same friend. Different weather.

A little seasonal character.

Winter wardrobe preview. The games and your chosen highlight colour stay exactly the same.

Optional date-based swaps: Halloween in October; Santa from 15–31 December; winter in December–February. The everyday mascot stays the default otherwise.
