Desktop Gremlins has about 6 positive and 0 negative player reviews out of a total 6. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.

Desktop Gremlins is a living desktop companion that stays right on your screen. It wanders between your windows, reacts to music and the applications you open, asks for attention, gets tired, falls asleep-and definitely notices when you forget to feed it.
Give your gremlin a name, feed it, pet it, pick it up or offer it a cup of coffee. You can also choose exactly where it is allowed to walk, so it stays out of the way while you work, draw, study, play or stream.

Your companion has hunger, affection, energy and experience. Everyday interactions help it grow from a tiny slime through five distinct forms, each with its own appearance, animations, reactions and personality.
Feed, pet, grab and play with your companion
Watch it react to music and popular applications
Rename it and define a custom invisible walking zone
Control actions with global hotkeys, mouse buttons, gamepads and macro devices
Discover new moods, animations and dialogue as it changes

Connect Twitch and turn Channel Points into real interactions on your stream. Viewers can feed or pet the gremlin, give it coffee, send on-screen messages, trigger character reactions or unleash visual effects.
You remain in control: select up to 25 rewards, set their prices, adjust effect duration and customize alerts. Redemptions enter a queue instead of activating all at once, keeping busy streams entertaining without turning them into a slideshow.
Custom alerts with viewer names, avatars and emotes
Moderated on-screen messages with unsafe words automatically masked
Streamer Mode for hiding private account and connection information
OBS Browser Source support for effects above full-screen Game Capture
Every reward and notification can be enabled or disabled separately

Enable Chaos Mode and your gremlin may shake or move windows, play with the cursor, flash the taskbar and launch harmless desktop pranks. It can be mischievous, but it never closes your applications, and every disruptive feature is optional.
Prefer a peaceful companion? Leave Chaos Mode disabled. The gremlin will still live on your desktop, react to what you do and keep you company without rearranging your day.
