A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

from ~492 reviews

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

3 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Deepest Sword at ≈ 270k–440k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 130 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 41 to 1k.
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 2D Platformer + Precision Platformer, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Local Co-Op + Local Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
