A typical game among these

≈ 13k–14k copies

≈ $48k–$107k after Steam's cut

from ~370 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: Ball laB at ≈ 27k–43k copies, ≈ $7k–$19k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Precision Platformer (8 of 8) and Platformer (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Precision Platformer + Perma Death, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Perma Death + Moddable + Level Editor; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2016 to 2022, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
