Games like Transiruby

A typical game among these

≈ 59k–83k copies

≈ $334k–$698k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Afterimage at ≈ 260k–423k copies, ≈ $1.8M–$4.8M 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 935 reviews in their first month; the range was 323 to 3k.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share 2D Platformer (8 of 8) and Metroidvania (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Metroidvania + 2D Platformer, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Side Scroller; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 2 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about which games were found than about the market.

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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
