Pixel Graphics + Point & Click

Games tagged both Pixel Graphics and Point & Click: 173 indie paid launches, 13 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 31 games tagged both Pixel Graphics and Point & Click priced $10 to $20. 29.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 23.9 in 100 for Pixel Graphics-only games and 11.9 in 100 for Point & Click-only games, so games with both tags did better than games with either tag alone.

Both: 31 games priced $10 to $20; 29.0 in 100 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 87 in 100 · $10k+ 68 in 100 · $100k+ 29 in 100.
