Niche

Grid-Based Movement + Logic

Games tagged both Grid-Based Movement and Logic: 69 indie paid launches, 0 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". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 26,280 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 50 games tagged both Grid-Based Movement and Logic priced under $5. 0 of 50 of them earned $100k+, against 0 of 86 for Grid-Based Movement-only games and 1 of 485 for Logic-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Grid-Based Movement alone and is too small to compare with Logic alone.

Both: 50 games priced under $5; 0 of 50 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $253.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 50 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.
