1k to 2k copies, based on its 42 Steam reviews. This is a labeled estimate from the review count, not exact sales.

Games like Mooselutions

A typical game among these

≈ 3k–5k copies

≈ $7k–$13k after Steam's cut

from ~117 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: Feed All Monsters at ≈ 12k–20k copies, ≈ $10k–$27k 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 55 reviews in their first month; the range was 6 to 99.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (8 of 8) and Sokoban (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Wholesome, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Wholesome + Casual + Cartoony; a typical game here doesn't.
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).
