The middle of these games

≈ 13k–14k copies

≈ $48k–$89k after Steam's cut

from ~369 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: Ball laB at ≈ 27k–43k copies, ≈ $7k–$20k 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 205 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 41 to 267.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Precision Platformer (8 of 8) and Platformer (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Precision Platformer + Perma Death, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Perma Death + Moddable + Level Editor; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2016 to 2022, 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
