None of the 8 similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Sports (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Best case: Seal: WHAT the FUN at ≈ 13k–21k copies.

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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
