The Minimalist lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 3k copies, so plan for a small audience.

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

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

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 Futuristic + Sokoban, priced around $1.
  • The breakout hits carry Atmospheric + Futuristic; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. 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.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
