  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing 2D Platformer + Funny priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is level with 2D Platformer and trails Funny; priced $10 to $20 it trails both its tags.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 42.4 in 100), so read it within a price band.

Price bandswitches the whole page
What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 17 games tagged both 2D Platformer and Funny priced $10 to $20. 11.8 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 13.0 for 2D Platformer-only games and 18.8 for Funny-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.

Both: 17 games priced $10 to $20; 11.8 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $20,645.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 17 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
