Dustpile is a Steam dating app that will help clear your backlog

Polygon · 5 hours ago

A developer known online as tolgatr0n, from Dumbbell Games, has created Dustpile, a web tool that applies a Tinder-style swiping interface to a user's Steam library to help them decide which game from their backlog to play next. It matters because unplayed gaming backlogs are a common frustration, and Dustpile offers a low-effort, playful way to cut through indecision and settle on something to start.

To use it, players paste in their Steam profile link, set parameters such as how long they have played each game, and load their library. Games then appear as virtual cards showing tags, a summary, completion time and top reviews, which users swipe left to pass or right to shortlist. Extra features include a "smart order" based on genre taste, an "I'm feeling lucky" random pick, a wishlist mode for future purchases, a co-op filter for games shared with a friend, a knockout "face-off" bracket, tier-list ranking, and JSON or CSV export.

  • Dustpile brings Tinder-style swiping to your Steam backlog.
  • Paste your profile, set filters, then swipe games left or right.
  • Extras include face-off brackets, tier lists and co-op filtering.
