Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Tomb Rumble and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Tomb Rumble's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3k–4k
best case 97k (Contraption Maker)
Games like Tomb Rumble

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–4k copies

≈ $5k–$12k after Steam's cut

from ~91 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

2 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Contraption Maker at ≈ 74k–120k copies, ≈ $263k–$708k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 66 reviews in their first month; the range was 35 to 192.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share 2D Platformer (6 of 8) and Physics (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Physics, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Lemmings + Moddable + Online Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2014 to 2025, and 3 of the 8 shipped in the last two years.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
