Grand Cru's ambitious Supernauts mobile game hits 1M downloads in six days

Grand Cru’s Supernauts, an ambitious social world-building game that was built over two years, has hit a million downloads in just six days after its release on iOS.

That’s good news for the Helsinki-based Grand Cru, which raised venture capital funding to build the free-to-play game and tap into a multibillion dollar industry. The publisher said that the game received editor’s choice nods in 40 countries in the Apple App Store and has ranked in the “best new games” category in 155 countries.
