Our take on Unboxathon
The defining mechanic is a progression loop where bubble popping supplies boxes, and opening those boxes produces items, profits, upgrades, and access to additional box types.
What is Unboxathon?

Players pop bubbles to gain boxes, then open them to find items and generate profits. Progression includes upgrading skills and unlocking additional box types and features.
