Games like Angry Angry Shark

A typical game among these

≈ 586–651 copies

≈ $677–$2k after Steam's cut

from ~20 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: Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy: Prologue at ≈ 85k–137k copies. 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 17 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 930.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Action-Adventure (8 of 8) and Bullet Hell (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Bullet Hell + Shooter, priced around $5.
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).
