The Story A long time ago lived a small boy called Ludo. Ludo lived in Piedmont, a small village at the foot of mount Massif. The mountain was a scary place upon which was erected castle Monfort, a relic from the past. Legends speak of an evil man who lived in the castle and had the ability to bring back people from the dead and control them. One day, an army of living dead kidnapped all villagers. All but one. Ludo escaped unnoticed napping in a stack of hay. He fell asleep after an exhausting knight-training session with sword and armor. Only to be awakened by the screams of the villagers being hoarded away to castle Monfort. Ludo is brave, resilient and resourceful. So starts his quest to free the villagers of Piedmont, to free his friends and family.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ultimate Level Maker / Builder at 4.7 against Ludo's Quest's 4.0. Ultimate Level Maker / Builder also leads on ratings volume (69 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Ludo's Quest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ultimate Level Maker / Builder holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultimate Level Maker / Builder has 69 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Ludo's Quest's written reviews are positive against 84% of Ultimate Level Maker / Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ludo's Quest ships an update every 2 months, Ultimate Level Maker / Builder every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
