The middle of these games

≈ 131–537 copies

≈ $201–$691 after Steam's cut

from ~12 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: Rainbow Reactor at ≈ 3k–5k copies, ≈ $13k–$34k 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 4 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 12.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Match 3 (8 of 8) and Puzzle (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Match 3, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Music + Rhythm + Arcade; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
