History
Kaleb Parham technically started Gemanator: Shirlanka Paradise in 2012 as a quick throw away project named Gem Crash, which itself was part of a larger throwaway project named Cookies: Volume 1. The inspiration was "What if Tetris was mixed with a Rubik's Cube?" Gem Crash ended up being the most popular game in the compilation and he was advised to make it into a mobile game. During this time, Match-3's were very popular. Kaleb, however, felt most of them weren't very good and didn't offer a true challenge. So, Kaleb started working on Gemanator as a quick side-project.
Kaleb eventually fell on hard-times and needed to make money to help. He decided to make Gemanator into full-fledged game as opposed to a quick project. He started looking into Tetris: The Grand Master and Cultris for their speed-based gameplay, Puyo Puyo Tsu for it's reward system, as well as Bejeweled, Cleopatra Fortune, and Pac-Attack. However, as time went on, he eventually developed new mechanics to suit the unique gameplay.
Gemanator was finally released on August 25th on Androids, and later on October 23rd on iOS. A Windows Phone port is supposedly in the works as well.
