CrazyLabs Releases Additional Four New Titles to AppGallery
Demonstrates ongoing commitment to platform following initial five game releases
Huawei, the leading global technology company, has announced that CrazyLabs, the top 3 hyper-casual mobile games developer and publisher, just released a further four of its popular titles onto AppGallery.
This move comes after the success of its initial five titles, Coin Rush, Run Sausage Run, Dentist Bling, ASMR Slicing and Soap Cutting, which were listed in October last year. It is another indication of how important the development and potential of AppGallery is becoming to international game developers.
Earlier this month Huawei announced that Rovio was listing Angry Birds 2 and that Playrix had launched Manor Matters to add to its portfolio of popular brain-teasers now accessible to 540 million monthly active users on AppGallery. They join an expanding group of developers that are helping to make gaming the fastest growing category on the platform.
“Some of the hottest gaming companies in the world are eyeing AppGallery and seeing the potential it offers to reach millions of previously untapped consumers” commented Elliot Hollander, Head of Developer Relations in Israel, CEE & Nordic, Huawei Consumer Business Group. “We are seeing a consistent interest in ensuring that popular games are available to Huawei users. The ease with which developers can do this in partnership with us on AppGallery only makes the process easier.”
Israel-based CrazyLabs is aiming to reach out to Huawei’s global audience with two simulation games, Acrylic Nails! and Tie Dye while Light-It-Up is an addictive jumping game. The fourth title is Phone Case DIY, a simulation game for personalising smartphones.
The company has benefited from Huawei’s technical support throughout the integration of its games onto AppGallery, which makes it simple and fast to adapt existing games to the platform.
To enhance the process, CrazyLabs has incorporated several kits for use on HMS, Huawei’s proprietary mobile services platform. The Account Kit, which provides developers with simple, secure and quick sign-in and authorisation, the Ads Kit, a monetization service which allows CrazyLabs to build its audience and display high quality ad content to them within the game, and the Wallet Kit, which enables users’ loyalty cards, gift cards and coupons to be accepted.
Michal Issachary, VP Games and Operations at CrazyLabs said: “We see this as a long-term partnership in which we can grow our customer-base now that AppGallery draws more and more users. We have been impressed by the commitment shown by Huawei to releasing our games, and the support we have been given. It’s good to have another solid app distribution channel, which exposes us to new gamers and creates healthy competition in the market.”
As one of the world’s fastest-growing app marketplaces, AppGallery strives to partner with leading brands and gaming developers, like CrazyLabs, whose titles attract the biggest global audiences. This is allowing the platform to list a constant stream of exciting, challenging and entertaining content, connecting users with the games they most want to play and developers with a new and previously untapped customer-base.
AppGallery’s game category has grown by 500% since last year with games being accessible by Huawei users in 170 countries and regions. AppGallery is now also working closely with 4 million registered developers to constantly bring new content to the platform, with over 134,000 apps integrated with HMS now available.

Evoplay launches Caramelo Dog Lucky Run crash game for Brazil
Evoplay has launched Caramelo Dog Lucky Run, a new crash-style instant win game themed around Brazilian street culture and the widely recognised “Caramelo Dog” reference.
The title follows Taco, a dog navigating a neighbourhood filled with obstacles. Players move step by step across roads as the multiplier increases, choosing to cash out or keep going.
Evoplay said the game uses randomised obstacle patterns so each round plays differently. Players can choose between four difficulty settings — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Hardcore — with higher difficulty increasing obstacle intensity and the multiplier.
Caramelo Dog Lucky Run also includes a cash-out function that can be triggered after Taco safely stops, plus customisable autoplay settings for stake preferences and stop conditions.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Caramelo Dog Lucky Run brings a completely fresh personality to our portfolio through its vibrant Brazilian-inspired setting and charming main character.
“Players in Brazil need games that feel familiar, authentic and culturally connected to them. When a player recognises something that reflects their everyday life and online culture, it creates a far deeper level of engagement than entertainment alone, and that is exactly what Caramelo does in this game.”

S8UL streamer Payal Dhare and OWND! launch gamer-curated fashion capsule
S8UL gaming creator and streamer Payal Dhare has partnered with OWND!, the Gen Z-focused fashion brand from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited, to launch a gaming-inspired fashion capsule called ‘Gamer Drop’. The companies describe it as India’s first female gamer-curated capsule. The collection will be available on OWND!’s website and in the brand’s stores across India.
According to the press release, ‘Gamer Drop’ includes menswear and womenswear pieces built around gaming culture and streetwear, positioned as a creator-led collection rather than conventional creator merchandise. The campaign leans on the growing overlap between gaming culture, creator communities, and youth fashion.
Marco Agnolin, Chief Executive Officer, OWND!. said, “We see gaming today as a powerful cultural force that is shaping how young consumers express themselves, communicate, and engage with fashion. As one of India’s biggest gamers, Payal Dhare represents this new generation perfectly through her authenticity, confidence, and deep connection with the gaming community. Her influence extends far beyond gaming content, making her an ideal face for our gaming collection. Through this collaboration, we aim to celebrate individuality and connect with India’s digitally native youth in a way that feels relevant, inclusive, and culture-driven.”
Payal Dhare aka Payal Gaming said, “Gaming today has become a culture and a form of self-expression for millions of young people across the country. That’s what makes this collaboration with OWND! so exciting for me. With this curation, I wanted to create something that genuinely reflects my vibe and the energy of my community. It’s stylish, comfortable, expressive – and made for people who want to own who they are.”
The release also points to India’s expanding creator economy. Citing a Boston Consulting Group report, it says India has nearly 2 to 2.5 million creators, with more than 60% of consumers exposed to creator-led content and over 30% of shoppers influenced by creators in purchase decisions.
