Games like aMAZE 2

A typical game among these

≈ 440k–679k copies

≈ $1.4M–$3.9M after Steam's cut

from ~9k reviews

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

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

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

Best case: BattleBlock Theater® at ≈ 4.1M–6.6M copies, ≈ $16.8M–$45.3M 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 Platformer (6 of 8) and Puzzle (5 of 8).

Winners here lead with Platformer, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Metroidvania + Platformer + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2009 to 2019, 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 36 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).
