Jestr's Choice Awards: April 2026
Some of our favourite creators we saw on Jestr last month
Welcome to the very first edition of Jestr’s Choice! For the past 9 months, we’ve had the chance to watch a lot of great creators make content through Jestr, and we figured it was about time we highlighted some of our favourites.
Jestr’s Choice is our way of spotlighting creators in the community who are making content that stands out for its quality, creativity, and uniqueness. This isn’t about views, payouts, submissions, or anything else you can put a number on.
It’s about the craft.
These are creators who are consistently sharpening their style, experimenting with new ideas, and making videos that leave a lasting impression long after you scroll.
Every creator featured here was chosen through conversations with ambassadors, reps, and studios, along with our own opinions after spending WAY too much time doomscrolling…
As a quick disclaimer, this list is not ranked as there’s no “best creator” here. Every creator on this list stands out for different reasons, whether it’s storytelling, humour, editing, authenticity, or just having a brand that feels entirely their own!
Our goal with Jestr’s Choice is simple: recognize great work, celebrate the people behind it, and inspire more creators in the community to keep making stuff they’re proud of.
Okay that’s enough yapping, here’s our first ever Jestr’s Choice lineup!
CutCine
CutCine has quickly distinguished himself as one of the most unique creators on Jestr, proving that video-essay style content can thrive, even in short form. Every video he makes feels cinematic. He doesn’t just show what makes a game special, he makes you feel why it matters. That’s not an easy thing to pull off in under a minute, but it’s what makes his content stand out so much.
In his video about Tiny Bookshop, you can see exactly what we mean. The captions, the narration, and the way he describes the emotion behind the cozy game is captivating and truly makes you feel like you’re watching a movie.

CTPlays
CTPlays has built one of the most recognizable brands on Jestr by fully committing to a retro-inspired presentation that feels more like an experience than a standard game video. Every piece of his content feels intentional. The low poly character model, the drum and bass background music, and the constant use of retro game sfx all work together to create a consistent nostalgic vibe from start to finish.
In his video about MOTORSLICE, you can see how cleverly he weaves his brand into a showcase style video. Through retro game references, sound design, and visual cues, he manages to turn a simple showcase video into something that feels fully stylized to match his vibe.

Mildsoss
Mildsoss has been part of Jestr since the very start and is one of the fastest growing short form gaming creators in the space. While his branding is iconic, his big strength is his storytelling. Every video feels heavily researched, but never in a way that feels overwhelming. Instead, he’s able to take intricate developer stories and break them down into something clear, engaging, and easy to follow. Even if you know nothing about the game he’s covering, you’re never left behind.
In his video about Far Far West, he dives into the history behind what makes the game so special. Instead of just showcasing its features, he focuses on the developers and their journey, and by the end you find yourself genuinely invested in their story and wanting to support what they’re building.

FayeTale
FayeTale is a creator who’s videos you can’t help but smile while watching. She’s a VTuber who fully understands her audience, and leans into that perfectly. Fast-paced editing, comedic sound effects, and the occasional meme cut are all classic elements of VTuber content. Paired with her playful scripts and delivery, it all comes together to create a style that’s instantly recognizable.
In her video about Friendly Steps, she keeps things light, fast, and consistently funny, while also doing a great job of making you imagine how much fun the game would be if you were playing it with friends.

Duck Invaders
Duck Invaders (AKA Ducky) is another Jestr OG and his content stands out because of how organic it feels. Most of his videos come across like they’re completely off the cuff in the best way possible. It genuinely feels like he hits record, starts talking, and builds the entire video in real time through clever one-liners, mini skits, and quick comedic bits that always land. Even though it feels improvised, there’s a clear sense of timing and instinct behind everything he does, with sharp, fast humour that keeps the whole experience consistently entertaining.
In his video about Tiny Leaf Kingdom, you genuinely can’t predict a single thing he’s going to say next. It feels like a rollercoaster you didn’t fully prepare for, but end up enjoying more and more as it goes on.

That’s it for the first ever Jestr’s Choice!
Huge congratulations to everyone featured this month. This was honestly really hard to narrow down, since there are probably about 50 other people we also wanted to highlight. This is just our opinion based on what we’ve been seeing and the creators we’ve personally been enjoying on the platform.
That’s exactly why we’re going to make this a monthly thing.
We want to keep highlighting as many of you as possible who are consistently putting out high quality, creative work.
Thanks for reading, we’ll catch you in the next one 🫡
