Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Racing (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: DDNet at ≈ 1.2M–1.9M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 41 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 11 to 749.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Racing (4 of 8) and 2D Platformer (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with 2D Platformer + Precision Platformer. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Puzzle-Platformer + 2D; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2019 to 2025, and 2 of your 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
