Now everybody gets to have a go. 12,000+ wishlists – thank you. Just before launch, HyperCore passed 12,000 Steam wishlists. For a small game and a small team, that's a pretty enormous number.

- Thank You, Steam Next Fest! - 17 June 2026
Steam Next Fest has only been running for a few days, but we've already been blown away by the response to HyperCore: Rhythm Bullet Hell! One statistic in particular has genuinely surprised us: We've seen almost as many wishlists as demo players. As a small indie team, that's an incredible vote of confidence. Every person who downloads the demo is taking a chance on a game they've probably never played before. Seeing so many of those players decide they want to come back for more means the world to us. Why Wishlists Matter Wishlists aren't just numbers on a dashboard. They help independent games reach more players, improve visibility on Steam and give small developers a fighting chance of being discovered in an incredibly crowded space. Every wishlist really helps, and every single one tells us we're building something people want to see more of. Haven't Tried HyperCore Yet? The new dem…
