The Casual lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 2k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 2k copies
≈ $3k after Steam's cut

Best case

from 555 reviews

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Platformer + Adventure, priced around $15.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2025. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Silver ($10k–$250k). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
