A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Automation + Base-Building, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Automation + Crafting + Survival; a typical game here doesn't.
