Niche

Pixel Graphics + Time Management

Games tagged both Pixel Graphics and Time Management: 58 indie paid launches, 0 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 26,758 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 2 Nov 2026. How it is measured.

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 34 games tagged both Pixel Graphics and Time Management priced under $5. 0 of 34 of them earned $100k+, against 0.8 in 100 for Pixel Graphics-only games and 1 of 271 for Time Management-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Pixel Graphics alone and is too small to compare with Time Management alone.

Both: 34 games priced under $5; 0 of 34 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 4 of 34 launches · $10k+ 1 of 34 launches · $100k+ 0 of 34 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 34 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.
