Games like Clocker

A typical game among these

≈ 34k–74k copies

≈ $142k–$194k after Steam's cut

from ~970 reviews

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

5 of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Braid at ≈ 629k–1.0M copies, ≈ $2.6M–$7.0M 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 Puzzle-Platformer (7 of 8) and Puzzle (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle-Platformer + Time Manipulation, priced around $18. The breakout hits carry Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2009 to 2020, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
