The middle of these games

≈ 2k–4k copies

≈ $2k–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~79 reviews

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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Super Meat Boy Forever at ≈ 54k–88k copies, ≈ $74k–$199k 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 26 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 7 to 435.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Precision Platformer (8 of 8) and 2D Platformer (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Precision Platformer + Runner, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Difficult + Puzzle-Platformer + Puzzle; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
