Wishlist Wednesday: 3 Promising Indie Games to Watch This Week

Looking for something new to add to your Steam wishlist this week? This edition of Wishlist Wednesday highlights three indie projects exploring gravity-bending puzzles, dark fantasy action, and clever desktop-idle gameplay. Each brings a distinct idea worth keeping an eye on as development continues.

Let’s take a look.


Gravity Whipped

Developer: Packet Gaming Studios

Gravity Whipped is a 2.5D puzzle platformer built around a clever mechanic: changing the direction of gravity using the mysterious Gravity Whip. Players guide Tark the ostrich through the surreal Maze of Dreams, navigating hazards, uncovering secrets, and experimenting with multiple puzzle solutions.

With 196 rooms across 36 levels, thousands of collectibles, and a roulette-style upgrade system that lets players customize their abilities mid-run, the game blends platforming precision with exploration and replayability. 

Why wishlist it:

  • Gravity-shifting puzzle traversal
  • Upgrade roulette system with layered builds
  • Hidden routes and multiple endings
  • Designed with speedrunners in mind

Wishlist if you enjoy: CelesteVVVVVV, or exploratory platformers with mechanical twists.


Light Devourer

Developer: SupernaturalHippo Studio

Light Devourer is a dark fantasy action-adventure game where players awaken alone in a mysterious underground world and grow stronger by absorbing the energy of defeated enemies. Combat focuses on fast movement, chaining attacks, and unleashing Rage Bursts for powerful offensive bursts.

The interconnected map structure and emblem-based ability system suggest a flexible progression style where players can shape their build as they explore new regions.

Why wishlist it:

  • Fast dash-driven combat
  • Emblem customization system
  • Interwoven world exploration
  • Atmospheric pixel-art environments

Wishlist if you enjoy: Hyper Light DrifterDeath’s Door, or classic top-down action adventures.


Corner Quest

Developer: EbonForgeGames

Corner Quest takes the idle auto-battler formula in a creative direction by running directly in the corner of your desktop while you work, browse, or even play other games.

Progression comes through spell upgrades, rune collection, and Awakening resets that unlock permanent bonuses across runs. It’s designed to stay out of the way—but still reward attention when you want to optimize builds.

Why wishlist it:

  • Runs alongside your normal desktop activity
  • Awakening-based meta progression
  • Spell synergy experimentation
  • Passive or active playstyles supported

Wishlist if you enjoy: Melvor IdleLoop Hero, or background progression games with depth.


Also Worth Wishlisting: Shape Swarm (Launching April 14) 🚀

Before you go, here’s a quick reminder that Shape Swarm launches April 14.

This minimalist survival action game drops you into open space against escalating geometric swarms as you build your loadout and survive long enough for the colony fleet to escape. Runs evolve quickly, enemy patterns escalate over time, and each upgrade changes how your strategy unfolds.

If you enjoy games like Vampire Survivors or Brotato, this is one to keep on your radar.

Adding Shape Swarm to your wishlist helps visibility ahead of launch and makes a real difference for indie releases.
