Socialpoint, a leading Spanish mobile gaming company, launches multiple games on AppGallery
The launches start with Dragon City and Monster Legends, two of Socialpoint’s flagship titles
Socialpoint, a leading mobile games developer and wholly-owned studio of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., today announced that their titles are now available on AppGallery, Huawei’s official app distribution platform.
Through this alliance, Huawei continues to offer Huawei users the elevated experiences through its services, consolidating AppGallery as the third-largest application platform in the world.
Based in Barcelona and part of Take-Two Interactive, Socialpoint is a world-renowned game developer and publisher specialising in mobile gaming. Socialpoint has eight games released worldwide, with over 700 million downloads and a very strong presence in the U.S. and European markets. Dragon City and Monster Legends are its flagship titles.
This collaboration between AppGallery and Socialpoint starts with the release of Dragon City followed by Monster Legends.
Dragon City boasts more than 1,500 dragons for players to collect, each beautifully designed with its own personality, skill, and rarity. Players can breed, grow, and level up their dragons, and use them to compete in epic battles!
Monster Legends is an epic monster collection and battling game. Players can breed, feed, and train Legendary and Epic monsters, build their fighting force, and face the ultimate challenge: real-time battles against other Monster Masters!
“We are very happy to start this relationship with Socialpoint, a leading company in smartphone game development. Thanks to this, we continue on the path of providing the best offering to our Huawei users and exponentially increasing the options available,” said Jaime Gonzalo, VP of Huawei Mobile Services in Europe.
Characterised as one of the fastest growing mobile app marketplaces in the world, AppGallery focuses its efforts on partnering with market-leading brands and game developers whose features appeal to a larger global audience. This has enabled the platform to deliver a steady stream of quality, exciting, challenging, and entertaining content, creating a special connection between users and their games, and bringing developers closer to new customers.
“We are excited that Dragon City and Monster Legends will now be available to a wider audience across the globe through our partnership with AppGallery. We look forward to seeing how players engage with both games on this new platform,” said Pasqual Batalla, COO of Socialpoint.
To support the dynamic growth of its games on AppGallery, Huawei recently introduced GameCenter, the official game service on Huawei devices. In addition, a special games tab was introduced as part of its navigation, which was launched along with AppGallery’s new design earlier this year, allowing users to find games and specific content aligned with their preferences more easily.
Huawei’s investment in the development of its Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) ecosystem has led to an increase of more than 81% year-on-year in the number of applications integrated into HMS, with a total of 173,000 apps currently available. This growth is also reflected in its community of developers registered on the HMS platform, which now exceeds 5.1 million, 300,000 of them in Europe alone. AppGallery currently operates in 170 countries worldwide and has 560 million monthly active users worldwide.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
