So, beginner gamedev, slowly finishing my 1st game.
Lets suppose there are no bugs & low spec requirements.
Lets say its ~ mario + rpg elements (story) + some additional mechanic (like different attacks, powerups).
Lets say its more or less polished (not exactly polished but can easily pass as intended characteristics of the game).
Price 1€, mobile & pc. What numbers i should expect?

Depends mainly on art style. The game can be mechanically great but if it has a shit art style it wont do well. This is a hard thing to gauge offhand using napkin math. Most people will balk at just buying a game outright even if it's 1 dollar. Usually you have to let them demo a level or two worth of content to get them hooked like Angry Bird's did. This has the negative effect of requiring you to make more content, or better yet allow the user base to make content behind the paywall.

Castlevania like graphics, but ofc not perfect as far as consistency goes since i use free assets, all from 1 artist tho. I plan to release a demo with first couple levels.
Aaron Phillips
Ok, bump. Anyone has any idea? How many 0 at least. 10 copies, 100 copies? As far as marketing, best i can do is go on some indie game forums and yt.

Ok, movement like mario, double jump, dash, melee, ranged attack, mana and hp system, moving platforms, different enemies (about 8). And storytelling by encounters with npc.
Luis Gray
you're looking for the word Platform-adventure

It comes down to marketing friend. Short of going viral or being good friends with people who can get you traction in social media/traditional gaming media, I'd say don't expect much.
Alexander Garcia
Thank you kind sir. I'm also looking at number i should expect, and a number i should aim for (therefore, possible but requiring additional effort).

Owen Young
Yea, i know, just don't want to admit it to myself. Btw. I spent 0 on it, learned something and killed some time so even 1€ will be (in theory) success.

games are all about memes now nobody plays them except to jack off with each other. your entire strategy has to be about getting youtube meme celebrities to play it
