Games like Snake Robot

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–4k copies

≈ $2k–$6k after Steam's cut

from ~75 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Russian Life Simulator at ≈ 241k–392k copies, ≈ $66k–$176k 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 9 reviews in their first month; the range was 8 to 46.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Sports (7 of 8) and Clicker (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Memes, priced around $1. The breakout hits carry Memes + Singleplayer + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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 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).
