Niches / Creature Collector + Incremental

Niche

Creature Collector + Incremental

Games tagged both Creature Collector and Incremental: 107 indie paid launches, 3 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.

Showing Creature Collector + Incremental priced under $5, hiding samples under 100 launches. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is too small to compare with Creature Collector and is too small to compare with Incremental; priced under $5 it has too few launches to read.

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: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 86 games tagged both Creature Collector and Incremental priced under $5. 1 of 86 of them earned $100k+, against 3 of 195 for Creature Collector-only games and 1.2 in 100 for Incremental-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Creature Collector alone and is too small to compare with Incremental alone.

Both: 86 games priced under $5; 1 of 86 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $667.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 86 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.
