Games tagged both Bullet Hell and Shooter: 519 indie paid launches, 15 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Bullet Hell + Shooter priced $10 to $20, last 18 months. 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 is about level with Bullet Hell and trails Shooter; priced $10 to $20 it trails 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.
Bullet Hell + Shooter trails both its tags: 15.1 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 19.8 in 100 for Bullet Hell and 21.2 in 100 for Shooter.
That is about 0.7 times the 20.4 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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 53 games tagged both Bullet Hell and Shooter priced $10 to $20. 15.1 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 23.3 in 100 for Bullet Hell-only games and 22.3 in 100 for Shooter-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 53 games priced $10 to $20; 15.1 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $10,140.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 53 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 last 18 months lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
