Niche

Colorful + Point & Click

Games tagged both Colorful and Point & Click: 260 indie paid launches, 6 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

  • A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about".
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 29,637 indie paid launches 6 to 30 months old, data of 1 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Colorful + Point & Click priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair trails both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 20 games tagged both Colorful and Point & Click priced $10 to $20. 15.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 14.7 for Colorful-only games and 15.0 for Point & Click-only games, so the mix is level with Colorful alone and is level with Point & Click alone.

Both: 20 games priced $10 to $20; 15.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $3,645.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 20 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.
