World’s No. 2 kids game studio launches My Town: Museum and Baby Town series

Huawei, the leading global technology company, has announced that My Town Games, an award winning games studio best known for open world dollhouse apps, has successfully listed fourteen of its flagship role-playing game series My Town on AppGallery, and will be making another addition in My Town: Museum available this week. This will be shortly followed up with the introduction of a whole new game series, Baby Town.

My Town Games, which is ranked as the world’s second most successful studio¹ for children’s games by download, released its first game – My Town: Home Dollhouse – on AppGallery in January. This was met with great acclaim and achieved over one million installs, prompting the studio to add new titles at regular intervals over the next few months.

The titles in the My Town series encourage children to use their imagination, allowing them to interact and play with the items and characters they encounter in the game world. The games in the series are also connected with each other which gives the player a chance to experience the whole My Town universe as it develops.

The newly listed My Town: Museum takes children out of the home and allows them to visit five themed exhibits in the museum. They can wake up Egyptian mummies, dig for dinosaur fossils and compete in a jousting tournament, all designed to enhance their cognitive skills while having fun. The games primarily target 5–10-year-old children and are available in a wide range of languages depending on location. The Baby Town series will soon launch on AppGallery with the Animal Colouring Book game being made available first.

My Town Studio adds to the growing number of world’s leading games developers to list their titles on AppGallery. CrazyLabs listed on the platform earlier this year, while in June Rovio added Angry Birds 2, and Playrix launched Manor Matters to boost its portfolio of popular brain-teasing games that can now be downloaded from the platform.

“We are pleased that My Town Games has quickly found such a positive reception on AppGallery” said Gray Zhang, Head of Gaming and Developer Relations, CEE and Nordic, Huawei Consumer Business Group. “We are building a strong portfolio of games for children, and this is attracting some of the world’s most influential and popular content developers to the platform. Leading developers like My Town are reaping the rewards of expanding their audiences through our growing platform, and we will do everything to support their continued success.”

Mark Tulchinski, CEO and co-founder at My Town Games, said: “We have grown our presence on AppGallery over the last six months, gradually adding more and more titles, and we have been fully supported by Huawei throughout. It has been straightforward to adapt our games to the platform, and we have made good use of the kits to ease this process. This partnership has allowed us to quickly establish ourselves and enjoy delivering our games to Huawei’s audience around the world. We look forward to its continued success.”

My Town has utilized several of the developer kits by Huawei Mobile Services. These include the Ads Kit, a monetization service which allows My Town to build its audience and display high quality ad content to them within the game; the In-App-Purchases Kit, to help sell digital product and content directly within the games; the Analytics Kit to provide insight into user behaviour; and Huawei Identity, which provides unified address management services.

As one of the world’s fastest-growing app marketplaces, AppGallery offers a comprehensive technical support package to developers whose titles are in demand to help them integrate their apps quickly and cost effectively. This is mutually beneficial, allowing AppGallery to make educational, exciting and entertaining content available to users, while simultaneously providing games developers with access to an untapped customer-base.

Huawei’s investment to grow the Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) ecosystem has seen apps integrated with HMS surge, with more than 141,000 applications currently available². There are over 4.5 million developers now registered on the HMS platform, including 300,000 in Europe. AppGallery operates in 170 countries around the world, with 550 million monthly active users worldwide.

My Town: Museum is now available on AppGallery.

Soft2Bet has unveiled MEGA Islands, the latest addition to its MEGA Suite, designed to enhance player engagement and retention across both casino and sportsbook offerings.

The new engine introduces a persistent progression system that carries over across sessions, giving players an ongoing reason to return. Through island-building, resource collection, and continual advancement, players embark on a long-term journey that transforms short play sessions into sustained engagement.

First previewed in Soft2Bet’s recent Lodur release, the MEGA Islands system allows players to develop their own islands over time. Resources earned through gameplay can be used to construct new buildings, upgrade existing structures, and unlock further stages of progression. Each upgrade opens new goals, creating a loop of continuous advancement that keeps players invested.

The engine also incorporates plundering mechanics, giving players an additional path to gather resources by raiding other islands. This feature not only accelerates growth but also maintains a dynamic and engaging progression loop. With no fixed endpoint, MEGA Islands is built to encourage repeat play through a satisfying cycle of building, collecting, and advancing.

“MEGA Islands is designed to make retention feel natural by providing players with a progression journey they want to return to,” said Yoel Zuckerberg, CPO at Soft2Bet. “By building islands, collecting resources, and unlocking upgrades—including through plundering—each session becomes part of a longer experience. It gives players a clear reason to come back while providing operators with a retention tool that integrates seamlessly across casino and sportsbook.”

The launch of MEGA Islands underscores Soft2Bet’s commitment to gamification as a driver of long-term growth. As part of the MEGA Suite, the new engine offers operators a powerful tool to extend player journeys, increase engagement cycles, and deliver consistent value in competitive markets.

Pragmatic Play, a prominent content provider for the iGaming sector, has enhanced its arcade collection with the debut of Chicken+, a retro-themed game showcasing fast-paced action and significant winning opportunities.

Brought to existence with retro 8-bit visuals, the game tests players to evade approaching vehicles and various dangers, leading the chicken safely over the road.

With each lane successfully cleared, the win multiplier increases. Players can withdraw their earnings whenever they choose or try to navigate all lanes for the top reward, but a single random mishap concludes the round as a defeat. Players are able to view the possible winnings and the likelihood of success in reaching each lane to aid in their decision-making.

There are four levels of risk – Easy, Mid, Hard, and Daredevil. Raising the level reduces the number of lanes per round and increases the volatility, enhancing the maximum win potential from 24x in Easy mode to over 3,000,000x in Daredevil.

Blending nostalgic visuals with an eccentric theme, a user-friendly interface, and rapid betting rounds, Chicken+ meets the increasing demand for engaging, fast-paced games.

The title signifies the newest entry in Pragmatic Play’s continually growing arcade collection, succeeding the launches of Plinko+, Spire+, and Mines+.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Chicken+ blends retro charm with simple, high-engagement mechanics. With configurable risk levels and significant win potential, it stands out as another compelling addition to Pragmatic Play’s diverse arcade portfolio, inviting players to test their nerve and cross the road.”
