Games like Quick Words

A typical game among these

≈ 6k–33k copies

≈ $4k–$78k after Steam's cut

from ~271 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: Typoman at ≈ 37k–60k copies, ≈ $101k–$272k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 33 reviews in their first month; the range was 18 to 34.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Word Game (8 of 8) and Puzzle (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Word Game + Side Scroller, priced around $10.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2021, and none of them 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).
