Does this actually work?

We left Mooselutions out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Mooselutions's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

The middle of these games

≈ 3k–5k copies

≈ $7k–$13k after Steam's cut

from ~117 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Feed All Monsters at ≈ 12k–20k copies, ≈ $10k–$27k 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 55 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 6 to 99.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Puzzle (8 of 8) and Sokoban (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle + Wholesome, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Wholesome + Casual + Cartoony; 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).
