Games like Demon Go!

A typical game among these

≈ 125k–504k copies

≈ $263k–$922k after Steam's cut

from ~6k reviews

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Celeste at ≈ 4.5M–7.4M copies, ≈ $24.9M–$67.0M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Platformer (8 of 8) and Precision Platformer (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Precision Platformer + Platformer, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Difficult + Indie + Pixel Graphics; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2010 to 2024, and 1 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
