All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Building (3 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: Geometry Dash at ≈ 35.7M–58.0M copies, ≈ $49.0M–$131.7M 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 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 743 to 22k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Building (3 of 8) and Level Editor (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Music + Level Editor, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Music + Great Soundtrack + Precision Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2009 to 2023, 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).
