≈ $109k–$183k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

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

7 of the 8 similar games are hits.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Ultimate Chicken Horse at ≈ 2.2M–3.6M copies, ≈ $9.2M–$24.8M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The similar games share Precision Platformer (5 of 8) and Co-op (2 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Co-op + 2D Platformer, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Local Co-Op; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2012 to 2023, and none of them 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).
