New Games Launched on MPL in 2025

Played all the usual games on MPL and ready for something different? 2025 is packed with fresh launches that bring new twists, faster formats, and smarter challenges.

At MPL, we’re always building games that test your skills in fun and surprising ways. This year, it’s all about sharper thinking, bolder moves, and head-to-head competition that keeps you on your toes.

From remixed classics like Euro Rummy and Ultra Ludo to action-packed surprises like Survivor Loot and Draw 4, every game has been designed to shake things up. Whether you’re into puzzles, cards, or fast-paced duels, there’s something new to master.

Euro Rummy

• What it is: A card game that is a specific, competitive variant of the classic Rummy game.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players are dealt cards and must strategically draw and discard to form valid combinations. The primary objective is to be the first to declare a valid hand by arranging all your cards into specific sets and sequences.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Strict Declaration: Unlike some Rummy variants where a single pure sequence is enough, in Euro Rummy on MPL, you must achieve 2 sets and 1 sequence for a valid declaration. This specific requirement adds a higher level of strategic planning.
  • Joker Mechanics: A unique element is the interaction with the Joker. You can exchange a Jack for the Joker, but crucially, you must play the Joker in the same turn you acquire it. This adds an immediate tactical decision, as the Joker acts as a wild card to complete sequences (e.g., 8-Joker-10).
  • Point System: Cards have specific point values (Face cards, Ace = 10 points; numbered cards = face value). Invalid declarations can lead to significant point penalties (e.g., 80 points), emphasizing careful play.
• Who Might Be Interested: Experienced Rummy players looking for a more challenging variant, and tactical card gamers who enjoy mastering precise rules and quick, impactful decisions.

Ultra Ludo

• What it is: A board game that is a modernized, extremely fast-paced, and score-focused version of the traditional Ludo.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players move their pawns around the board based on dice rolls. The ultimate goal is to accumulate the highest score by moving pawns to their home base and by strategically “killing” (sending back to the start) opponent pawns within the given time limit.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Time-Limited Matches: Unlike classic Ludo, Ultra Ludo on MPL typically has a strict time limit (e.g., 3 minutes), making every move critical and pushing for rapid gameplay.
  • Aggressive Scoring: The game heavily rewards aggressive play: killing an opponent’s pawn grants you extra turns, allowing for rapid point accumulation and quick comebacks.
  • Pawn Value: Each pawn contributes a specific score, not just to finish. This encourages players to manage all their pieces strategically, not just focus on one.
  • No Waiting for a 6: Players can start moving their pawns immediately, eliminating the common “wait for a 6” rule, which further accelerates the game.
• Who Might Be Interested: Gamers who enjoy Ludo but prefer a high-octane, aggressive version focused on real-time scoring and quick matches, rather than simply moving all pawns home.

Solitaire

• What it is: A card game, specifically a competitive, skill-based adaptation of the classic Klondike Solitaire.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: The fundamental objective is to move all cards from the tableau (the main layout of cards) to the four foundation piles, building them up from Ace to King by suit. In the MPL version, the goal is to outscore your opponent by clearing cards faster and more efficiently before the match timer expires.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Head-to-Head Scoring: Instead of a solo endeavor, it’s a direct competition. Your score is compared to your opponent’s, making efficiency and speed crucial.
  • Streak Bonuses: A significant scoring mechanic is the streak bonus, awarded for discarding 5 cards consecutively to the foundation or waste pile. Maintaining long streaks is key to high scores.
  • Time & Card Bonuses: Points are awarded for clearing all cards quickly (time bonus) and for any remaining cards in your drawing pile (card surplus bonus), encouraging strategic conservation of draws.
  • Power-Ups: MPL’s Solitaire includes features like a “Wild” card (which can be played on any card to maintain streaks) and an “Undo” button (to reverse a move), adding strategic depth not found in traditional Solitaire.
  • Gameplay Flow: You tap cards that are one rank higher or lower than the card at the bottom of the discard pile. If no moves are available, you draw from the deck.
• Who Might Be Interested: Classic Solitaire players looking for a new competitive challenge, and those who enjoy fast-paced card games that reward quick thinking, efficiency, and smart use of special abilities.

Survivor Loot

• What it is: A unique multiplayer action and survival game set in a constantly shrinking arena.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players start on a map and must quickly collect coins and diamonds scattered around. As the game progresses, it shifts into a “battle mode” where players engage in combat. The ultimate objective is not just to survive, but to accumulate the most valuable loot (coins and diamonds) and successfully reach an exit point before being eliminated by the shrinking zone or other players.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Loot & Escape Focus: Unlike pure battle royales, victory isn’t solely about being the last one standing, but about resource acquisition and making a calculated escape to secure your earnings. Your distance to the exit is always visible.
  • Skill-Based Combat: Success hinges on precise attack timing and strategic movement to outmaneuver opponents.
  • Dynamic Power-ups: Players can find “barrels” that provide random power-ups (e.g., Magnet for collecting, Speed for movement, Sword Extension for range) which can be game-changers. However, these barrels can also yield negative effects like “Freeze” (immobilizes you) or “Bomb” (sudden elimination).
  • Shrinking Arena: The play area continuously shrinks, forcing players closer together and increasing tension.
• Who Might Be Interested: Fans of survival games who want a faster, more strategic experience focused on resource gathering and clever escapes, along with direct, skill-based combat.

Bingo Skill

• What it is: A number-matching game, a skill-based and competitive adaptation of the classic Bingo.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players are presented with bingo cards and must quickly mark off numbers as they are called. The objective is to score higher than your opponent by completing Bingo patterns (horizontal, vertical, diagonal lines, corners, or full house) faster and more accurately within a set time limit.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Skill Over Luck: In MPL’s Bingo Skill (which uses a 75-ball variation), all players see the same sequence of called numbers. This removes the luck factor, making it purely a test of your speed, focus, and strategic daubing (marking numbers).
  • Scoring Accuracy & Speed: Points are awarded based on the speed and accuracy of your daubs (“perfect,” “correct,” “good”). Calling Bingo quickly also adds to your score.
  • Card Selection: Players can strategically choose their bingo card based on past performance data, trying to pick one that might lead to more Bingos.
  • Power-Ups: The game incorporates power-ups (like “Wild Daub” to mark any number or extra time) that can be strategically used to boost your score or complete patterns.
  • Fixed Time: Games typically last around 2 minutes, making them quick, intense matches.
• Who Might Be Interested: Bingo lovers who want a version where their quick reflexes and strategic choices directly determine victory, and those who enjoy fast-paced number-based puzzle challenges.

Brick Blast

• What it is: An arcade game, a competitive, multiplayer version of the classic brick-breaking genre.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players control a launcher at the bottom of the screen, shooting balls upwards to destroy descending bricks. The main goal is to outscore your opponent within a given time limit by breaking as many bricks as possible.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Direct Competition: Unlike single-player brick-breaking games, this is a real-time battle against another player.
  • Constant Pressure: Bricks continuously move downwards, creating a sense of urgency. A unique losing condition is that the game immediately ends in defeat if even a single brick reaches the bottom of your screen, demanding constant attention and precise aiming.
  • Score-Based Victory: Winning is purely about having a higher score when the timer runs out, or if your opponent’s bricks hit the bottom first.
  • Aim & Reflexes: Success relies on accurate aiming and quick reflexes to manage the descending bricks effectively.
• Who Might Be Interested: Fans of classic arcade games who enjoy fast-paced challenges, direct competition, and games that test their aiming accuracy and reflexes under pressure.

Pool Champs

• What it is: A sports game, a fast-paced and score-driven adaptation of 8-Ball Pool (Billiards).
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players aim to pot balls into pockets to accumulate the highest score. The game typically starts with 8 randomly placed balls on the table. Players use intuitive drag controls to aim their cue stick and control shot power.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • High-Score Focus: The primary difference from traditional pool is the scoring system. Winning isn’t about clearing specific sets of balls (solids/stripes) but about maximizing points by potting high-numbered balls (e.g., 15-ball) into special high-multiplier pockets (e.g., 10x pocket). This encourages a different strategic approach to shot selection.
  • Streak Bonuses: Successfully potting balls consecutively builds streak bonuses, which significantly boost your score, rewarding skilled and continuous play.
  • Tournament Play: MPL offers various competitive formats, including free tournaments, allowing players to win significant rewards by showcasing their pool skills.
  • Quick Matches: The score-based format allows for quicker matches compared to traditional 8-ball, fitting into shorter play sessions.
• Who Might Be Interested: Pool players who enjoy the mechanics of billiards but prefer a quicker, arcade-like scoring system focused on maximizing points, and those who like competitive games requiring precision and strategic planning.

Candy Match

• What it is: A puzzle game, a vibrant and time-pressured match-3 style game.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players swap adjacent candy pieces to form matches of three or more identical candies. The goal is to achieve the highest possible score within a fixed time limit and a limited number of moves.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Dual Constraints: The simultaneous presence of both a timer and a move counter adds a layer of urgency and strategic depth, forcing players to make every decision count.
  • Special Candies & Combos: Matching four or more candies creates powerful special candies (e.g., striped, wrapped, color bombs) and often grants extra moves, which are crucial for extending gameplay and boosting scores.
  • Booster Cards: A unique mechanic is the “booster bar”, filled by collecting specific blue candy pieces. Once full, players can activate powerful booster cards (which do not consume a move), allowing for strategic bursts of high-scoring activity or clearing difficult sections.
  • High Score Competition: The game is a direct competition to see who can achieve the highest score using clever matching and booster management.
• Who Might Be Interested: Fans of classic match-3 puzzle games who enjoy colorful visuals and satisfying combo chains, and competitive players who like strategic planning under time and move constraints.

Draw 4

• What it is: a fast-paced, competitive shedding-type card game.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players start with a hand of cards and must take turns matching the top card of the discard pile by either its number or color. The primary objective is to be the first player to get rid of all cards in their hand before the 3-minute timer expires. If no one clears their hand, the player with the lowest hand score wins.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Fixed Time Limit: The game operates under a strict 3-minute timer, compelling fast decisions and strategic card play.
  • Automated Play & Penalties: A unique aspect is the “auto-play” function if a player fails to make a move in time. Crucially, if a player misses three turns (allowing auto-play), the game ends immediately, and the person with the fewest cards wins. This adds a layer of urgency and risk to inaction.
  • Special Draw Meter & Action Cards: Besides drawing from the main pile, a “special draw meter” can fill up, providing access to powerful special action cards that can turn the tide of the game (specific effects may vary but are designed to give an advantage).
  • Player Count: While the game itself can support more, MPL’s cash games typically feature 2 to 4 players, each starting with seven cards.
• Who Might Be Interested: Fans of shedding card games who enjoy fast-paced matches, managing strategic card plays, and dealing with time pressure and unique automated play rules.

Block Puzzle

• What it is: A spatial puzzle game, based on the timeless block-fitting challenge.
• Core Gameplay & Objective: Players are given various geometric-shaped blocks and must strategically drag and place them onto a grid. The main objective is to form complete horizontal or vertical lines, which then clear from the board, earning points. The game continues until there’s no more space to place incoming blocks, with the goal of achieving the highest possible score.
• Key Features & MPL Differences:
  • Pure Strategy & Planning: Unlike many games with random elements, success in Block Puzzle hinges entirely on your ability to plan ahead, visualize how blocks will fit, and make efficient placements to keep the board clear.
  • Endless Challenge (until filled): The game offers a continuous, non-timed challenge of fitting shapes and clearing lines, constantly pushing players to maximize their board space.
  • Competitive High Scores: On MPL, the competition comes from players striving for the highest possible score, demonstrating superior spatial reasoning and efficiency in block placement.
  • No Rotation (typically): Most versions of this specific block puzzle do not allow block rotation, adding to the spatial challenge.
• Who Might Be Interested: Individuals who enjoy logical challenges, spatial reasoning, and optimizing arrangements. It’s ideal for those who prefer a thoughtful, strategic puzzle experience over frantic, timed gameplay.
