About Gleam Games
Gleam Games is an Istanbul-based mobile game developer and publisher focused on casual and hybrid puzzle experiences for iOS and Android. Founded by Eser Yoğurtcu, Berkay Bekil and Furkan Bekil, the studio creates free-to-play games built around accessible match, blast and block-puzzle mechanics, colourful art direction and progression-driven play.
Its portfolio includes the flagship EverBlast - Blast and Match, a 3D casual puzzle game combining block blasting, fruit matching and city-building elements. Other reported releases include Fruit Match: Sweet Journey / Fruit Match - Idle Travel, Traffic Hero: Car Puzzle, Unblock Cars: Traffic Control, Block Puzzle Jam and Pixel Kitties: Color Shooter.

Core capabilities include:
- Casual, puzzle and blast-mechanic game development
