Games like Typing Tempo

A typical game among these

≈ 147–5k copies

≈ $135–$3k after Steam's cut

from ~13 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ at ≈ 590k–959k copies, ≈ $6.4M–$17.2M 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 3 reviews in their first month; the range was 1 to 3k.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Rhythm (7 of 8) and Typing (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rhythm + Anime, priced around $39. The breakout hits carry Anime + Female Protagonist + Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 to 2024, and 1 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
