  • 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 Action Roguelike + Dungeon Crawler priced $10 to $20.

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 46 games tagged both Action Roguelike and Dungeon Crawler priced $10 to $20. 37.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 24.8 for Action Roguelike-only games and 18.5 for Dungeon Crawler-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 46 games priced $10 to $20; 37.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $32,176.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 46 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.
