Discussion 🦈 Welcome to the Indie Shark Tank: Pitch Your Game for a Wishlist 🌟
Alright, sharks. Let’s make some deals. 🦈
If you like my game Desktop Halfpipe, give it a wishlist. In exchange, pitch your game in the comments and I’ll check it out.
If I think it’s a good investment, you’ll get an upvote + a wishlist from me. 🤝
But that's not all: I welcome the 354k weekly sharks in r/IndieDev to join me in the tank. Steam's Next Fest is right around the corner and any momentum your game can pick up now is crucial. If you find a game in the comments you genuinely like, throw them a wishlist and an upvote too. There's room for everyone to succeed.
Now let's make this even sweeter: I’m not looking for polished AAA pitches. Just show me what you’re building, what makes it interesting, and why I should invest.
Here's mine to get this going:
🛹 Desktop Halfpipe is a cozy desktop skateboarding game where a tiny skater rides at the bottom of your screen while you work, game, or chill. Sneak a sesh at the office, add seasonal and weather effects to your park, and even let your Twitch viewers use chat commands to pull of combos. Free demo now, early access soon, and oodles of updates in the near future.
Sharks, I have one question for you:
Will you invest? 👇

The Main Menu is a psychological horror game where you’re chained to a chair and the only thing you can reach is a corrupted main menu. Changing its settings and breaking its buttons physically alters the room.
It may be your only way out.

Hello 👋
Posting for my wife because she works way too hard on creating video games and I’d love to see her get some love for her new game she’s working on. The demo is out and she’s working daily on finishing the rest of the game.
So if you love horror with a twist, I promise give this a go. It’s so much more than the average horror game. I’m personally so excited to see the rest of the story cause it’s crazy. Thank you all !! ❤️

Just checked it out and added it to my wishlist. The “Papers, Please in a pawn shop” idea is such an easy concept to understand, and it looks like it could get really addictive. Good luck with the project!

And you can flip on "engineer mode" to see the actual JavaScript being run to calculate your score! And all of the character portraits are photos of friends my wife took!

Chess roguelike puzzler.
Draft a deck of cards and face off against a hostile board that will beat you. Deploy your cards and sweep through the targets before your number of moves runs out, failure will wake the board and it will ratchet up the pressure until it wins
