All 8 of the similar games are hits.

These games: The similar games share Precision Platformer (7 of 8) and Platformer (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Precision Platformer, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Difficult + Music; a typical game here doesn't.

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
