Mobile game developer Top App Games Ltd. is partnering with Aptoide, the alternative Android distribution platform, to expand its hit mobile title Ludus: Merge Arena and strengthen its global community. The game will officially launch on October 14, 2025, across Aptoide App Store, Aptoide Games, and Games Hub.
Ludus: Merge Arena has steadily grown over the past two years, reaching seven million players worldwide.
“With Aptoide, Ludus is on track for sustainable global success, demonstrating the long-term value we look for in our investments,” said Vladimir Nikolsky, CEO of Utmost Games, investor and former CEO of My.Games.
As part of the launch, players who download the game through Aptoide will get exclusive in-game bonuses:
- Special Launch Pack: Includes premium currency, gold, rare cards, and unique ethereal heroes like Griffon and Kitsune, normally only available in late-game content. Valued at over $300, this bundle offers huge savings and will be available during the first two months after launch.
- Advent Calendar (7 Days): Players can log in each day for a week to claim rotating rewards, including gold, emeralds, and epic cards. Rewards alternate between free gifts and items earned by watching ads, and the program is exclusive to Aptoide players for the first two months.
Earlier this year, to celebrate Ludus’ second anniversary, Top App Games launched a Creator Program in partnership with Keymailer. Creators can sign up to start earning rewards for streaming and uploading game content.
“Launching Ludus on Aptoide gives the game global reach, flexible monetization, and smarter ways to connect with players — all at a time when app store rules are changing fast,” said Vladimir Markov, CEO of Top App Games.
“The partnership between Top App Games and Aptoide shows the growing relevance of alternative app stores for driving growth and expanding reach for world-class titles,” said Paulo Trezentos, CEO and co-founder of Aptoide.
