Considering you're a hobbyist and probably don't have marketing, it's too soon to say it's a flop. Many games like that pop off later once it gets seen.
I appreciate the optimism! I hope it can find an audience over time, but it's definitely tough to stand out. For now, I'm aiming to just keep making games and improving, rather than giving up after the first try, which sadly seems to happen a lot out there.
Rarely happens. The vast majority of game on Steam make the bulk of their sales within a few months of release.
