Games tagged both Shooter and Twin Stick Shooter: 148 indie paid launches, 7 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.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 16 games tagged both Shooter and Twin Stick Shooter priced $10 to $20. 4 of 16 of them earned $100k+, against 21.1 in 100 for Shooter-only games and 5 of 19 for Twin Stick Shooter-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Shooter alone and is too small to compare with Twin Stick Shooter alone.

Both: 16 games priced $10 to $20; 4 of 16 earned $100k+, odds by size $1k+ 14 of 16 launches · $10k+ 8 of 16 launches · $100k+ 4 of 16 launches.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 16 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.
