Does this actually work?

We left Woodways out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Woodways's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2k–3k
best case 54k (Hexologic)
The Puzzle lane

A niche genre: modest ceilings, most sell around 3k copies, so plan for a small audience.

A typical game
≈ 3k copies
≈ $6k after Steam's cut

Best case

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Logic + Puzzle, priced around $5.
  • The breakout hits carry Colorful + Puzzle-Platformer + Relaxing; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Bronze (under $10k before Steam's cut, est.); the best case reaches Silver ($10k–$250k). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
