Physics + Platformer
Games tagged both Physics and Platformer: 217 indie paid launches, 6 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.
Showing Physics + Platformer priced $10 to $20, without the breakout, hiding samples under 30 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 trails both its tags; priced $10 to $20 it has too few launches to read.
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.

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 Physics and Platformer priced $10 to $20. 13.3 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 17.9 for Physics-only games and 16.8 for Platformer-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.
Both: 15 games priced $10 to $20; 13.3 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $3,783.
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 without the breakout lens is not computed for the outer parts, so this diagram uses the standard figures.
