Niches / Cute + Funny

Niche

Cute + Funny

Games tagged both Cute and Funny: 535 indie paid launches, 19 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".
  • 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 Cute + Funny priced $10 to $20, hiding samples under 30 launches.

1Scoreboard: the pair against each of 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.

ScoreboardDoes this pair beat its genres?$10 to $20

Cute + Funny trails both its tags: 10.7 in 100 of its launches earned $100k+ priced $10 to $20, against 16.3 in 100 for Cute and 18.4 in 100 for Funny.

That is about 0.6 times the 18.6 in 100 expected for any launch at this price.

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 75 games tagged both Cute and Funny priced $10 to $20. 10.7 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 17.0 for Cute-only games and 21.3 for Funny-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.

Both: 75 games priced $10 to $20; 10.7 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $9,310.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 75 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.
