A message from the Walk The Frog Studio:

Meeting players and sharing Froggo’s world has been an inspiring and challenging journey for both of us. We wanted to share our idea of a game story told on a sticky note puzzle since we first started in 2020. Finally, our last 365 days marked the beginning of many events and showcases, like the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom ’25 and Steam Next Fest ’26, and each step felt like a huge milestone for our tiny team. We are incredibly happy to have found a partner in Bright Gambit at such short notice who understands our vision and has worked with us to take the final crucial steps leading up to the release of Walk The Frog. Every piece of feedback and every smile has encouraged us to keep going. We are so excited to now share the game with you and truly hope that Walk The Frog will find its audience around the world.

Oliver & Fabian – developers of Walk The Frog

A message from Bright Gambit:

We’re always eager to aid small teams that need just one final push to get their projects over the line and when Walk The Frog ended up on our table, we knew that this was a perfect fit for Bright Gambit. The stylistic charm and the elegant puzzle design managed to catch our attention immediately and we truly think people will see this as one of those small indie gems that leaves a long lasting impression.

Indie Dev Monoii Studio Announces Cozy Idle Management game ‘Bottled By Bears’

 Indie developer Monoii Studio has announced Bottled By Bears, a cozy idle management game where players help a family of bears run their honey farm. The game is heading to Steam in 2026, with a free demo arriving next month

In Bottled By Bears, you open beepacks to discover bees. Better bees (rarer, higher level, shiny) make better honey that sells for more, and you use that money to buy more packs and upgrade your farm. Rinse and repeat as your collection grows and your business expands.

Alongside the management loop, there’s a collection side and a decoration side. Track down every bee in the catalogue (shinies included) and personalize your farm layout however you like. Flowers grow dynamically based on which bees live in your hives, so your field changes shape as your collection does.

Features

  • Bee discovery: open beepacks to find bees of all kinds, including rare and shiny variants
  • Honey production: bottle jars with the help of the bear family
  • Sell and grow: serve walk-in customers or take on big honey orders to expand your business
  • Upgrades: improve your hives, selling stand, and unlock new beepacks as you progress
  • Farm customization: decorate your farm and edit the flower fields, which grow based on the bees you collect

Availability and Assets
A free demo will be available on Steam next month, with the full release planned for later this year.

Cozy Farm & Restaurant Management Sim “Farm To Table” to release in Early Access sooner than planned

indieGiant Games is thrilled to announce that Farm to Table will arrive on Steam Early Access sooner than planned. The Early Access launch has been moved forward from May 11th to May 9th, giving players two extra days to get their hands dirty.

Following Subnautica 2‘s recent release date reveal, Outbound also announced its new launch date, which landed on the exact same day as indieGiant Games’ originally planned Early Access release. While the team is genuinely excited for both games, they also wanted Farm to Table to have its own moment for their players. The decision was made to open the restaurant doors a little earlier so players can enjoy the game at their own pace without feeling rushed between big releases.

Desktop Plant-Growing Idle Game ‘Deskpot’ Announced, Will Release Later This Year

Indie developer RoaringLuck has announced Deskpot, a cozy desktop companion game in which every keystroke you type becomes nourishment for a tiny plant living on your screen. Designed to sit quietly in the corner of your desktop while you work, browse, or game, Deskpot turns your daily computer habits into a gardening routine.

About the game

Deskpot is a miniature idle/simulation game that lives on your Windows desktop. Place your pot anywhere on screen, then go about your day. Every key you press feeds your plant. Over time, plants grow, bloom, and produce rewards that unlock deeper progression, cosmetics, and a growing collection of flora to discover.

The game features 60 unique plants spread across five categories: flowers, vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, and foliage. Each plant can be leveled up with upgrades that affect growth speed and yield, and every specimen gets its own entry in an in-game Almanac (a collector’s catalogue for completionists, that provides fun facts about the flora). For players who prefer to set it up and forget about it, a full Idle mode is also available. 

Key features

  • 60 plants across 5 categories to grow, upgrade, and collect
  • Almanac to catalogue every plant you’ve discovered
  • Cosmetic customization (pots, faces, and accessories)
  • Per-category upgrade trees affecting growth and output
  • Market system with hourly and daily rotating deals
  • Full Idle mode for passive play
  • Typing-driven core mechanic: every keystroke counts
  • Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing support

Availability

Deskpot will launch on Steam for Windows 10/11 in 2026. A playtest you can join on Steam is currently underway.
