Your set: Your set clusters on Idler (8 of 8) and Clicker (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Idler + Clicker, priced around $6. The breakout hits carry Pixel Graphics + Fishing + Relaxing; a typical game here doesn't.

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).
