Niche

Cartoon + Funny

Games tagged both Cartoon and Funny: 94 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". 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.

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: 0.4 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 44.2 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 13 games tagged both Cartoon and Funny priced $10 to $20. 4 of 13 of them earned $100k+, against 12.3 in 100 for Cartoon-only games and 24.1 in 100 for Funny-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Cartoon alone and is too small to compare with Funny alone.

Both: 13 games priced $10 to $20; 4 of 13 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $34,837.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 13 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 leaders, in words

Among Us 3D earned 34.5% of the estimated first-year money of the 94 Cartoon + Funny launches.
Cartoon is led by Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD, with 23.8% of its money.
Funny is led by Lethal Company, with 27.5% of its money.
No game holds over half of this pair's money, so the pair is not a one-hit market.

Filters do not apply here yet. Leaders and shares are for all prices and the Standard view; per price band and per lens they are not computed yet.
