Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Tiny Glade at ≈ 605k–983k copies, ≈ $2.5M–$6.7M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 814 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 302 to 8k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Sandbox (6 of 8) and Building (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with 2D Platformer + Collectathon, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Casual; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 2 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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).
