Games like Miska's Cave

A typical game among these

≈ 196–367 copies

≈ $198–$962 after Steam's cut

from ~8 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Neko Journey at ≈ 1k–2k copies, ≈ $2k–$5k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The games that made it here had under 31 reviews in their first month.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Side Scroller (6 of 8) and 2D Platformer (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Runner + Souls-like, priced around $8. The breakout hits carry Runner + Puzzle-Platformer + Souls-like; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2017 to 2025, and 2 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
