A typical game among these

≈ 21k–57k copies

≈ $47k–$85k 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.

6 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Cookie Clicker at ≈ 2.3M–3.8M copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.5M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Idler (8 of 8) and Clicker (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Clicker + Idler, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Pixel Graphics + Indie + Casual; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 1 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).
