Games like Pixel Art Academy: Learn Mode

A typical game among these

≈ 374–2k copies

≈ $389–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~40 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: Game Dev Studio at ≈ 21k–34k copies, ≈ $58k–$155k 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 19 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 119.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Simulation (5 of 8) and Idler (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Early Access + Logic + Automation; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2018 to 2026, and 3 of the 8 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
