Every week we spotlight indie games worth adding to your Steam wishlist. This week’s picks range from retro arcade beat ’em up chaos to cozy dream exploration—and one fast-approaching bullet heaven launch from Digital Sagas.

🍕 Pizza Kidd

Developer: Kidd Games, LLC
Genre: Arcade Beat ’Em Up / Action

A love letter to 90s anime and classic arcade brawlers, Pizza Kidd blends expressive martial-arts combat with gritty sci-fi fantasy storytelling and striking pixel art presentation.

You play as KIDD, a martial artist delivery driver battling nightmare creatures across a collapsing city while searching for eight sacred seed stones that could restore balance to the world.

Expect:

  • Fast combo-driven combat with air juggling and special moves
  • Side-scrolling arcade action inspired by Streets of Rage and Ninja Warriors
  • Large expressive character sprites and noir-style pixel art
  • A synth-charged original soundtrack

🚀 Starport Kingdom

Developer: Starport Kingdom
Genre: Strategy / Base Builder / Survival Management

Starport Kingdom puts you in command of an orbital station under constant threat. Pirates raid, meteors strike, systems fail—and traffic must keep flowing anyway.

This isn’t a peaceful builder. It’s infrastructure under pressure.

Highlights include:

  • Real-time starport construction during active attacks
  • Interlocking survival systems (fuel, morale, stability, energy)
  • Automated defenses including shields, patrols, and turrets
  • Era-based progression unlocking stronger infrastructure
  • Anthropomorphic workers keeping the port alive under siege

🐶 Don’t Wake Up My Dream

Developer: Naivus Luo
Genre: Cozy Puzzle Adventure

A whimsical exploration game where you travel through a dog’s dreamscape collecting fragments, triggering strange events, and uncovering multiple endings shaped by your choices.

Each dream shifts tone and style—sometimes heartfelt, sometimes surreal, sometimes hilariously unpredictable.

Features:

  • Freeform dream exploration
  • Narrative fragments hidden across environments
  • Multiple endings based on player discovery
  • Light puzzles and interactive story events
  • Hand-drawn expressive visuals

🔺 Shape Swarm (Launching April 14)

Developer: Digital Sagas LLC
Genre: Bullet Heaven / Survivors-Like

Shape Swarm is a fast-paced neon survival experience where enemies don’t just scale—they evolve based on how you play.

Each run becomes a tactical race against adaptation as formations shift, behaviors change, and the swarm pushes harder every minute you survive.

Choose how you make your final stand:

  • Save the Colony – Hold the line long enough for evacuation
  • Infinite Mode – Survive as long as possible
  • Swarm Architect – Control how the enemies evolve

Runs are short, intense, and built around synergy-driven builds that reshape your strategy mid-battle.

With launch approaching fast, now is the perfect time to wishlist.
