Cute + Physics
Games tagged both Cute and Physics: 136 indie paid launches, 9 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Cute + Physics priced $10 to $20, last 18 months, hiding samples under 100 launches. 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 beats Cute and is level with Physics; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.

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.
The overlap is this niche: the 15 games tagged both Cute and Physics priced $10 to $20. 26.7 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 16.0 for Cute-only games and 16.7 for Physics-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.
Both: 15 games priced $10 to $20; 26.7 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $13,660.
Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 15 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.
