Games tagged both Funny and Platformer: 276 indie paid launches, 12 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Funny + Platformer priced $10 to $20, west-facing view. Lens figures exist at all prices only, so inside a price band the page shows the standard figures. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair trails Funny and is level with Platformer; priced $10 to $20 it beats both its tags.
The pair's chance of a $100k+ first year beside each of its two tags, ranked like a high-score table, with typical earnings and the launches behind every figure.
Funny + Platformer beats both its tags: 19.4 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 18.4 in 100 for Funny and 16.6 in 100 for Platformer.
That is about 1.0 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price. Lens figures by price band are not computed yet, so this band uses the standard figures.
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.
The overlap is this niche: the 31 games tagged both Funny and Platformer priced $10 to $20. 19.4 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 18.3 for Funny-only games and 16.3 for Platformer-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 31 games priced $10 to $20; 19.4 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $28,230.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 31 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. The west-facing view lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
