How big is Flood Escape?

Estimated players who have it
≈ 174–282
from 7 reviews (7 user reviews)
Only 7 reviews so far, so that range swings on one or two people. Read it as a hint, not a measurement.

Copies are estimated from the public review count, adjusted for release year, and cross-checked against SteamSpy's own estimate.

Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Flood Escape and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Flood Escape's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3k–5k
best case 317k (Zula Global)
Games like Flood Escape

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–5k copies

≈ $6k after Steam's cut

from ~114 reviews

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

3 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Zula Global at ≈ 242k–393k 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 34 reviews in their first month; the range was 16 to 230.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share FPS (6 of 8) and Shooter (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS. The breakout hits carry Early Access; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
