The middle of these games

≈ 77k–129k copies

≈ $229k–$830k after Steam's cut

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 259 to 19k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Platformer (6 of 8) and Action-Adventure (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Co-op + Platformer, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Casual + Puzzle-Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: 5 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. You'd be launching into a busy stretch.

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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
